In this new collection of essays, Enzo Traverso examines the relationships between anti-Semitism, modernity and the Holocaust. Traverso analyses multiple dimensions of the destruction of the European Jews, debates over the historical memory and left-wing debates on the nature of anti-Semitism.

Inspired by the critical theory of the Frankfurt School and the heterodox Marxism of a thinker like Walter Benjamin, Traverso argues that after Auschwitz,  critical thought needs to reconsider the notion of progress as such.

The past summer, the IIRE again organized a Youth School and a Women's seminar. 

First up was the Women’s Seminar which took place 13-17 July.

In the coming weeks, we will publish two new books; a political memoir of a central leader of the Fourth International, Livio Maitan, and a new, considerably enlarged edition of ''Marxism after Auschwitz'' by Enzo Traverso.
