title: The Morally Obnoxious Comparisons of Evil: American Slavery and the Holocuast creator: Thomas, Laurence subject: Ethics description: The essay discuss the issue of comparing the American Slavery and the Holocaust, and the extent to which the ideology of the American dream has fueled invidious comparisons between the two peoples. Just as murder and rape are wrongs to be understood in their own right, I argue that a like claim holds for American Slavery and the Holocuast. The essay further points out that we should be weary of supposing that wrongdoing is the sort of the thing for which compensation is at all possible. publisher: Yearbook of the Fritz Bauer Institut, 2002 date: 2002 type: Book Chapter type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/4634/1/Suffering_AS%26H.pdf identifier: Thomas, Laurence (2002) The Morally Obnoxious Comparisons of Evil: American Slavery and the Holocuast.
