Abstract
El artículo aborda, desde un enfoque transnacional comparado, algunas formas de recuerdo del Holocausto en las políticas y las narrativas comunistas europeas entre 1945 y los años sesenta. Analiza la rememoración germano-oriental y polaca sobre Buchenwald y Auschwitz y, en su última parte, explora algunas claves de significación manejadas por los relatos comunistas francés y español sobre ambos lugares de memoria. El texto resalta el paradigma antifascista como eje que definió la memoria comunista europea. Un antifascismo donde confluyeron, en gran medida, el socialismo real y los comunismos occidentales. Sin embargo, durante aquel período también debe hablarse de un disímil grado de evocación del judío como víctima singular, de adecuaciones y flexibilidades simbólicas o de modulaciones temporales y nacionales del recuerdo.
The article addresses, from a comparative transnational approach, some forms of remembrance of the Holocaust in European communist policies and narratives between 1945 and the sixties. It analyses the East German and Polish remembrance of Buchenwald and Auschwitz and, in its last part, explores the keys to meaning handled by the French and Spanish communist discourses about both places of memory. The text highlights the anti-fascist paradigm as the axis that defined European communist memory. An anti-fascism where Estate Socialism and Western communisms converged. However, during that period we must also speak of a dissimilar degree of evocation of the Jew as a singular victim, symbolic adjustments, flexibilities and temporal or national modulations.
