Abstract
The article presents – basing on a review of Sławomir Buryła’s book Tematy (nie)opisane – a polemic with the approach to the Holocaust as an element of the historical process, an element which can be isolated from modernity and to which loftiness can be assigned. Czapliński contrasts it with the conception of the “Auschwitz virus,” according to which morality, economy, and science after the Holocaust will never be able to separate themselves from it.
