REFLECTION FROM THE AMERICAS ON WALTER BENJAMIN’S CRITICAL THEORY: WORKING AND MEANING IN THE ANTI-FASCIST RESISTANCE 1933–1945

Abstract

Eighty years after the arrival of the Red Army troops — whose doctors treated the very few prisoners who had not yet been murdered — at the Auschwitz extermination camp, it is necessary to reflect on the role of a mistaken historical theory of the German, European, and ultimately global left, which made it impossible to resist with the necessary strength against National Socialism and the extermination of European Jews.
