Scherrer Presentation by Professor Robert Melson Melson, Robert F. Presentation by Professor Robert Melson The equivalence fallacy suggests that because some atrocity or genocide was similar in some way to the Holocaust it therefore is in essence equivalent to it. The uniqueness fallacy suggests that because there are unique features to the Holocaust it cannot be compared to any other instance of genocide. (Indeed, some writers claim it is the only case of "genocide.") Both fallacies affect and mar research and teaching and often conceal hidden political or moral agendas that need to be made explicit. >> Back to top				Introduction Opening Session: Messages and speeches Plenary Sessions: Messages and speeches Workshops, Panels and Seminars Summary Report on Panels and Workshops Panel 1: Holocaust Education - Where Are We Going?
