Abstract
“The Holocaust was not unique to the Jewish population in Europe. Many oth-ers, including Poles, died in the same way,” said Romanian President Jon Iliescuin 2003 (Davidovitz, 2003), later mentioning that his nation cannot be accused of genocide in Transnistria. Similar statements were often made by other politicalleaders who denied the uniqueness of the Holocaust in order to present their ownnations as unique victims of historical atrocities and to deny the historical cru-elties perpetrated by ingroup members. Thus, perception of ingroup victimhoodserves as a strategy that allows for denial of responsibility
