The holocaust against Palestinians just escalated today with both Netanyahu and TrumpOLINI on trial for corruption in their alleged "countries" meeting inside the White House solidifying the illegal thefts of Palestinian land violating United Nations resolutions all parties agreed to decades ago TODAY

Horrendous

Love you posted on the 75 anniversary of the rescue at Auschwitz. We have posted many articles like this one in Jewish by Culture. Please feel free to join us @LiterateHiker.

When I was at school, the Crimean war had taken place 95 years previously. It seemed like ancient history and the charge of the light brigade was akin to a Boys Own Paper adventure. The holocaust started 80 years ago. How can one blame today's ten year olds for knowing very little about it?
It is a sad fact of history that events become mythologised.
I fear that in 20 more years the holocaust will, like the slaughter at Balaklava in 1854, be no more than an episode of history.
After all, look at the slaughter of intellectuals that followed both the French and Russian revolutions. Do you know much about them. DO YOU CARE?
Russian thinkers were still being killed in Siberian concentration camps only 10 years prior to the holocaust.
The world moves on. New events supercede the old. Sad but true.

We covered the Holocaust three years ago. Of the eastern European students (6) in my class aged 16-21, all knew about it. It was part of their education.
Of the Scottish students of the same age (10), two had never heard of it and although one of them knew about there being two world wars, she did not know which came first (I shit you not) WWI or WWII and who was on who's side. Was Hitler British or German and who won? History is not taught in a linear fashion in Scottish schools.
Later on the first year of degree studies at least all of the students knew about the holocaust regardless of age, but it can be said, that most were middle class.
As for myself. My mother's father was at Bergen Belsen in 1945, so I take no crap about it being an allied lie. Len had to bulldoze thousands of bodies into burial pits. Just far too many dead to count and process considering they were decomposing and posed a disease risk to liberating troops and survivors.

I think it's important to remember that Jews were not the only victims. I don't understand why the other 5 million victims are ignored. If more people could identify with the victims it might help more people care about it.

But it's happening constantly. Genocide or Ethnic Cleansing is taking place somewhere on our planet as I type this.
