Aside from the people at the top, most ordinary Germans were not aware of the totality of what they were taking part in. They did not have a personal sense of responsibility, even if something bad was happening in Germany as a whole. Someone working at a railway station dealing with the management of spare parts does not see themselves as a murderer, or personally responsible for the crimes that some “higher-up” in their organization may be privy to. When everyone is merely a cog in a machine, no one feels responsible. People could go home after their job transporting materials used for the manufacture of bullets and sleep soundly knowing that their neighbors, colleagues and close family held them in high-esteem and considered them to be kind and moral people. Only in retrospect can we see that the Germans were not who they thought that they were. As well as considering its enduring relevance for the discipline of sociology, the event will also incorporate reflections on the book’s significant transdisciplinary appeal and will provide a space for critical dialogical extensions of the work to theoretical traditions and historical trajectories outside of its scope. with Michael Hviid Jacobsen and Keith Tester): What use is sociology?

Between Structure and Event: Slow Catastrophe in Bauman’s Modernity and the Holocaust’ – Jonathon Catlin (Princeton University) The essence of modernity is to suppress base human instincts and emotions, enshrining reason in their place. We tend to think of this as obviously a good thing, but this is a dangerous simplification. As Hannah Arendt noted, for example, it is a normal human emotion is to feel basic pity for the pain of other people when they are in distress, especially the young, weak or enfeebled. The Nazi system succeeded in suppressing this “animal pity” in the German population through the effective use of bureaucracy and technology. Germany society under the Nazis put people at a distance from the Jews, while slowly transforming them into an abstraction on spreadsheets and databases. They were spoken about in dehumanizing ways and framed by German leaders as effectively a problem to be solved. While people may have had individual Jewish friends, the abstracted “Jew” became first a public health issue, then later a unit of production for national industry. The only difference is that instead of producing fridges or helicopters, the German industrial machine and all its components was geared to producing dead human beings.

PART 1: Sociology after Modernity and the Holocaust 1. Modernity or decivilization? Reflections on Modernity and the Holocaust today 2. The sociology of modernity, the ethnography of the Holocaust: what Zygmunt Bauman knew Sin embargo, hay esperanza y el autor nos da esa pequeña luz. A pesar de lo desolador del panorama, nos recuerda que, aunque fueron muy pocos, hubo personas que no se dejaron arrastrar por la corriente, personas que ayudaron a otras personas, a costa de su propia seguridad y la seguridad de sus familias. Personas que mantuvieron su sentido de individualidad, porque es muy difícil saber que es lo correcto en un mundo donde lo correcto ya no lo es, y todos los valores se han invertido, para mantener las convicciones personales, aunque el resto de tu mundo conocido te dice que estas mal. One of Bauman works focuses on the concept of art as influenced by the liquidity of appreciation. The author puts forward the idea that "we desire and seek a realization that usually consists of a constant becoming, in a permanent disposition of becoming". [39] In essence, our aim is not the object of our longing but the action of longing itself, and the worst peril is reaching complete satisfaction. Dale M. Coulter, First Things, https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2018/05/the-benedict-option-and-mediating-structures This lesson of the Holocaust is about the danger of modernity itself: how our bureaucratic, technological, rational society can lead perfectly normal people to collectively commit monstrosities. Rather than representing a breakdown of modern civilization, Bauman argues that the organized and largely emotionless mass killing of the Holocaust represented its chilling pinnacle. Upon reading this book it became disturbingly clear that the bloodless, bureaucratic manner of thinking which made the Holocaust possible is still very much active today.

Although it was a ‘purifying’ programme devised by the Nazis, the ‘Holocaust’ is presented by Stone as a generic term that circumscribes local ‘versions’ of persecution directed against the Jews. He analyses the Nazi (especially SS) vision of Europe’s demographic future via the terms of a multi-layered ‘pan-European racial community’ with the Germans and their racial allies at the top and the Slavs, turned into slaves, at the bottom. This picture does not include any Jewish element, which implied, ultimately, their disappearance (pp. 62–3). Palese, E. (2013). "Zygmunt Bauman. Individual and society in the liquid modernity".
