La pregunta que guió la reflexión en este texto es si el Holocausto tuvo características que no existieron en ninguna otra forma de genocidio. Cuando se discuten elementos sin precedentes en un fenómeno social, la pregunta inmediata es ¿sin precedentes en comparación con qué? Por medio del método comparativo y tomando en cuenta que el horror del Holocausto no es que se desvió de las normas humanas sino que no lo hizo, en este artículo se revisan los genocidios de tutsis, armenios, khmer, chams musulmanes, vietnamitas y romas, para arribar a la conclusión de que el Holocausto es una forma extrema de genocidio. A su vez, se argumenta que las diferencias deben ser analizadas con el objetivo de aprender lo que ha sucedido. Adquirir conocimiento deja al descubierto la relación dialéctica entre particularidad y universalidad del horror. El Holocausto conlleva una advertencia. No sabemos si tendremos éxito en difundir este conocimiento, pero si hay una oportunidad siquiera en un millón, ese sentido debe prevalecer; tenemos una obligación moral, en el espíritu de la filosofía ética -moral- kantiana, de intentarlo.... view less

The driving question underlying this work is whether the Holocaust had features that did not exist in any other form of genocide. When unprecedented elements in a social phenomenon are discussed, the first question that comes to mind is: Unprecedented compared to what? Taking a comparative stance and bearing in mind that the horror of the Holocaust consisted not in that it diverted from human standards, but that in fact it did not, this work reviews the genocide of Tutsis, Armenian, Khmer, Muslim Chams, Vietnamese, and Roma, to conclude that the Holocaust represents an extreme form of genocide. On the other hand, it is argued that differences must be analyzed in order to learn from what has happened. As a result of the acquired knowledge, the dialectical relationship between particularity and universality of horror is revealed. The Holocaust conveys a warning. We do not know if we will succeed in spreading what we have learned, but if there is even a single chance in a million, that sense must prevail; we have the moral obligation of trying, in the spirit of Kant's ethical -moral- philosophy.... view less
