Abstract: Habermas’ relationship with the Shoah is both broad and complex. Broad because he quickly came to the acute, painful realization that the Shoah constituted a break in the history of European civilization; complex because he also challenged philosophy and German philosophy in particular. His elaboration of a theory of modernity centered on communication and capable of accounting for intellectual, psychological and political regressions can be read as an answer to this challenge.
