This chapter depicts Lyotard and Levinas's theories to connect or disconnect traumatic experience with those of ethical experience. It utilizes Lyotard's take on Emmanuel Levinas's thoughts, an examination of Lyotard's overview of The Differend, and an analysis of Lyotard's Heidegger and the ‘Jews’ to attain the answer that differentiates trauma and ethics to define the Holocaust.
