Holocaust scholars often resist rethinking genocide as undermining memory.

Evidence

Students of the Nazi Holocaust in particular have often challenged efforts to rethink and rewrite genocide as part of efforts to desecrate the memory of Holocaust victims and survivors and undermine the use of historical memory in challenging antisemitisrn and preventing future Holocausts. Racial and ethnic studies have an important contribution to make in getting students of genocide beyond this debilitating polemic. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 291
