book

Modernity and the Holocaust

Bauman, Zygmunt. Modernity and the Holocaust. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2000.

Why this matters here

Bauman analyzes how modern organization can distance people from the suffering their systems produce. When Accountability No Longer Expires uses that distance to explain a quieter failure mode: institutions can look stable while harm is allocated to those least able to interrupt it.
