Abstract
Abuses in art, film and literature portraying the Holocaust have finally been discussed in modern human studies. The analyses show, among others, the phenomenon of the McDonaldization of the Holocaust, its political intrumentalization,
ideological manipulation and commercialization. The article tries to look critically at a different dimension of the phenomenon, hitherto undiscussed, namely the abuses in Holocaust research. The author identifies several dangers which appear
in academic discourse about the Holocaust – from “the myth of sources” to narcissistic temptations.
Keywords
Holocaust, postmodern Holocaust discourse, dangers threats and abuses in scientific research
