Following is a list of information sources on this tragic, historic, inaugural milestone that we would expect to affect political and other decision making in our lives here today. Having an open discussion with Jews, Arabs, Christians and other minorities about the Jewish Holocaust in World War II is both important and useful, morally and politically. The International Holocaust Remembrance Day occurs on January 27th. Shelly Aridor has compiled information on this subject in the spirit of Dialog Together’s agenda.

Shortly after the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, after the Polish law furor had died down and with the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict forever in the background, we should discuss the Muslim Righteous Among the Nations. The testimonies about acts of grace are innumerable, but the official act of acknowledgement is far more complicated. This is the same complexity that is so prevalent in the relations between us.

Deep fears arising from the narratives behind building ourselves as a nation drive our national memories. There are Jewish teachers who find it difficult to forsake their grip on the subject of the Holocaust, perhaps thinking that without it one of the justifications for our national existence would cease to exist. But it’s also important to talk about the Arab school teachers in Israel who might also have a hard time forsaking their grip on their national catastrophes that are part of their narrative. What’s important to note is that Holocaust remembrance, and a day has been set aside for this internationally on an annual basis, can teach humanity as a whole about the importance of the struggle against racism in its broadest sense.
