Arab Youth Must Be Taught the Truth about the Holocaust

(National Interest) Ahmed Charai - We must renew our determination to educate all young people about the Nazi genocide of six million Jews, and of the murder of so many others. The Holocaust represented the pairing of the methodology of the industrial revolution to the dark tradition of mass murder. It showed how technologized propaganda methods dehumanized other people so as to make actual acts of industrialized mass murder possible. Many Arab historians have colluded in the falsification of Holocaust history. The result is that entire chapters of history are missing from what Arab governments teach their students. Into the vacuum have poured the diatribes of religious extremists, where the Palestinians are the only victims of history, as Jews and Israelis are turned into Nazis.
