    This document summarizes a book titled "Disciplining the Holocaust" by Karyn Ball. The book explores the relationship between academic disciplines and ethics regarding scholarship on the Holocaust. It examines efforts by critics to define a rigorous and morally appropriate approach. Rather than focus on polemics about the "proper" method, the book analyzes trends in intellectual history that shape contemporary standards. It discusses debates around works like Goldhagen's Hitler's Willing Executioners and Eisenman's Holocaust memorial in Berlin. The book bridges psychoanalysis and Foucault's theories of disciplinary power to consider the social implications of studying traumatic history.
