I am sorry that my point is so difficult to understand.

Whether or not the Holocaust has been "de-Judaeified" depends on how one defines Jewishness. It is true that "the Jews'" status as the unique victims of the Holocaust has always been stressed, but who are "the Jews?" Are they the Biblical Israelites who taught G-d's morality to the world while effacing paganism from the Holy Land, or are they merely the victims of chr*stianity, the implication being that they are the victims of religion and morality? My point about the Holocaust being "de-Judaeified" was that it has been detached from Jewish History (by which I mean the history that begins at Creation and forms the heart of the Bible) and made into a foundational myth of secularism.

But if you didn't understand this the first time, you won't understand it this time either. I hope to write an essay on this subject at my web site in the near future, be`ezrat HaShem.
