The German Debate about the Holocaust, Colonialism &amp; Genocide<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past two decades, scholars, among them many historians, have been debating the relationships among the Holocaust, colonialism, and other genocides. In May 2021, Dirk Moses, then UNC\u2019s Frank Porter Graham Distinguished Professor of Global Human Rights History, injected renewed energy into these debates with the publication of his article \u201cThe German Catechism\u201d in <em>Geschichte der Gegenwart.&nbsp;<\/em>The media response to this article first inside and later also outside Germany ranged from polemical rejection to nuanced support. Some observers even called this debate the \u201cHistorikerstreit 2.0.\u201d More than a year later, this roundtable with American and German experts will take stock of the debate and reflect on intentions, positions, and possible conclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Roundtable Participants:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccny.cuny.edu\/profiles\/dirk-moses\"><strong>A.
