Johannes Morsink argues that the 1948 UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the human rights movement today are direct descendants of revulsion to the Holocaust and the desire to never let it happen again. In doing so, he breaks with recent human rights scholarship that severs this important link and downplays the importance of the UDHR.
