        The Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben, in his Homo Sacer-cycle, has developed a new paradigm for thinking the Shoah. Departing from Michel Foucault’s biopolitical thought, he argues that modern political power is made possible by the helix-structure of sovereign power and homo sacer. Sovereign power is situated at the threshold of the prevailing juridico-political order and can, in a state of exception, violently suspend or establish the law. In this decision, homo sacer is legally excluded from the law. When the state of exception is made general, the law of sovereignty governs all life and everyone becomes homo sacer. This happened concretely in the Shoah. In the concentration camps, the Muselmann is produced. During the Shoah by Bullet, as happened in Lithuania, the generalised sovereign biopolitics turns into radical thanatopolitics.
        Italų filosofas Giorgio Agambenas savo Homo sacer cikle išplėtojo naują būdą, kaip mąstyti apie Šoa (hebr. Shoah). Atsispirdamas nuo Michelio Foucault biopolitinės minties, jis teigia, kad šiuolaikinę politinę valdžią įgalina suverenios galios ir homo sacer spiralės struktūra. Suvereni galia stovi ant vyraujančios juridinės-politinės tvarkos slenksčio ir esant „išimties būklei“ prievarta gali suspenduoti ar įsteigti įstatymą. Toks sprendimas teisiškai palieka homo sacer anapus įstatymo. Išimties situaciją pavertus visuotine, suvereno įstatymas valdo visą gyvenimą ir kiekvienas tampa homo sacer. Kaip tik tai vyko Šoa atveju. Koncentracijos stovyklose sukurtas Muselmann. Šoa iššaudant atveju, kaip nutiko Lietuvoje, suvisuotinta suvereni biopolitika virsta radikalia mirties politika.
