Prompt:
Some thinkers have noted that rather than being an anomaly of history, that instead of the Holocaust being opposed to the Enlightenment, it actually marks the apex of Enlightenment values; an absolute trust in science and reason. Consider the machinery, or industrialization of death the Nazis employed; the precision in bookkeeping they maintained; the efficiency they were so proud of. With this in mind, can the Age of Reason be recuperated, or is it forever tainted by the Holocaust? With the Holocaust having taken place, is there any hope for humanity?
