Abstract

This short article deals on a recent polemic about the possibility to represent or not the Holocaust of Jewish People in Arts. For most researchers there are unbridgeable frontiers to represent the Holocaust although there are some that accept easily all kind of representation on the biggest catastrophe of Humanity. At the same time that there is a debate between intellectuals is necessary to reach far into a deep reflection concerning the moral and ethics consequences of this tragedy.
