A discipline born from the study of the Holocaust faces its contradictions as Israel stands accused of the “crime of crimes.”

🔥 A full house for the Swiss Chair Lecture at SPS
by @dirkmoses.bsky.social, leading expert on genocide, on: "Gaza and the failure of Frankf. School critical theory"
Examined how “never again Auschwitz” has shifted from a call for emancipation to a tool for silencing dissent and policing migration.

A reminder not only of the flaws in international law, but of how its treaties and conventions are all a product of their time, in this case the postwar era.
