Description

The Banality of Denial examines the attitudes of the State of Israel and its leading institutions toward the Armenian Genocide. Israel's view of this issue has special significance and deserves an attentive study, as Israel is a country composed of people who were victims of the Holocaust. The Banality of Denial seeks both to examine the passive, indifferent Israeli attitude towards the Armenian Genocide and to explore active Israeli measures to undermine attempts at safeguarding the memory of the Armenian victims of Turkish persecution.

Such an inquiry into attempts at denial by Israeli institutions and leading figures in Israel's political, security, academic and Holocaust "memory-preservation" elite has not merely an academic significance, but considerable political reverence, both symbolic and tangible.

In The Banality of Denial--as in Auron's previous work--moral, philosophical and theoretical questions are of paramount importance because no previous studies have dealt with these issues or similar ones. Original methodology is also employed to analyze the subject with regard to four distinct domains: political, educational, media and academic.
