A duty to remember. Blustein, J. In Bernecker, S. & Michaelian, K., editors, The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Memory, pages 351–363. Routledge, New York, 2017. abstract bibtex [first paragraph] The notion of a " duty to remember " has gained currency in the West in recent decades, a development that can be traced in no small measure to the role it has played in reflections on how to respond to the Nazi extermination of Jews, Gypsies, and other so-called undesirables during World War II. It is to the Holocaust that we must inevitably turn when speaking of such a notion, for it has largely acquired moral and political traction because of it. When a duty to remember with this antecedent is invoked, as has all too frequently been the case since the end of that war, it is characterized by the following features: it is incumbent on humanity collectively; it targets the victims of genocide or other atrocity; and its purpose, to a significant degree, is to put the world on guard against a repetition of crimes of this magnitude.
