Blind Spots in the “German Catechism” Debate – Gavriel Rosenfeld

Now that the debate over Dirk Moses’s essay, “The German Catechism,” appears to have crested, it is possible to take stock of its results.[1]  In this short commentary, I do not directly address Moses’s specific arguments in detail; plenty of insightful observers have already done so.  Like many of them, I support some of Moses’s assertions and reject others.  Instead, I reflect on some of the claims that have been made about the debate’s significance for contemporary Holocaust memory.  In so doing, I have identified four areas where, from my perspective, commentators have displayed interpretive blind spots.  I hope to rectify them by 1) placing the “German Catechism” debate into a larger historical context; 2) flagging issues of terminological confusion; 3) pointing out the existence of overly sweeping conclusions; and 4) restoring a more balanced perspective about Germany’s mnemonic achievements.
