Abstract

Nakon uhićenja Adolfa Eichmanna i pada velikih pripovijesti, u Izraelu i Europi završava doba heroja i počinje doba žrtvi. Stoga, u središte interesa dolazi najveći i jedinstveni genocid u povijesti, holokaust. U radu pokušavam pokazati kako se narativ o holokaust razvijao unutar Izraela te kakvu je ulogu imao u legitimaciji države i formiranju kolektivnog identiteta nacije. Poseban naglasak pritom stavljam na primjenu narativa o holokaustu u arapsko-izraelskim odnosima i pokušajima poistovjećivanja Arapa s nacistima. Iako se nužnost Izraela argumentirala padom razine svjetskog antisemitizma još od Herzelovih cionističkih početaka, u novom se narativu Izrael konstruira kao jedina brana od novog holokausta.

Abstract (english)

After the capture of Eichamann and the fall of the great narratives in Israel and Europe, the age of heroes ended and the age of victims started. Therefore, the biggest and most unique genocide in history, Holocaust, came into the centre of attention. In this dissertation I am trying to show how holocaust narrative has been developing in Israel and what role it played in legitimation of the state and forming of the nation’s collective identity. While doing so, I am putting special emphasis on Holocaust narrative’s application on Arab-Israeli relations and Arab-Nazi identification. Even though the argument of world levels of antisemitism falling down was used in justifying Israeli’s necessity since the begging of Herzl’s Zionism, in new narrative Israel is being constituted as only defence against new holocaust.
