La identificación del Holocausto con otras experiencias históricas ha suscitado una serie de debates en el espacio público a lo largo de las últimas décadas. Mientras algunos actores condenan toda comparación con el Holocausto alegando que esto conlleva a su banalización, otros la defienden como un modo legítimo de comprensión de los problemas contemporáneos. Más allá de estos posicionamientos, el estudio de las memorias y los usos públicos y políticos del Holocausto permite visualizar cómo un amplio conjunto de actores vincula pasado y presente en diversos contextos. En este artículo se historiza el recorrido de la memoria del Holocausto y sus "usos" en Argentina en cuatro momentos clave: la etapa contemporánea al exterminio de los judíos en Europa; la década de 1960 -en tanto permite visualizar un conjunto de usos polémicos vinculados a la problemática del antisemitismo en el marco del conflicto de Medio Oriente-; y las etapas dictatorial y de recuperación democrática en las que el Holocausto se convirtió en una metáfora global de las violaciones a los derechos humanos, una medida con la que comparar el antisemitismo dictatorial y sus procedimientos represivos.... view less

The suggestion of any similarity between the Holocaust and other historical experiences has instigated many debates within the public sphere in the last decades. While some actors reject any kind of comparison of the Holocaust arguing this leads to its trivialization, others contend that the comparative approach is a legitimate tool to understanding contemporary problems. Besides those stances, the study of both the memories and the public and political uses of the Holocaust reveals how a large group of social actors have managed to link the past and the present in various contexts. This paper offers and historical perspective of the Holocaust memory and its "uses" in Argentina, focusing on four key stages: the period that was coincident with the extermination of the Jews in Europe; the 1960s, when polemic uses of the Holocaust emerged in association with the problems of anti-Semitism and the conflict in the Middle East; the stages of dictatorship and the recovery of democracy, when the Holocaust became a global metaphor for the violation of human rights and a parameter to contrast dictatorial anti-Semitism and its repressive procedures.... view less
