gibberish

Agreed.

Makes one almost empathise with the Martin Amis hot potato this week.

It’s surprising what the power of Fear can accomplish if left unchallenged.

Wait till you call a Teddy Mohamoud

there’s no such thing as a ‘uk history syllabus’.

for instance in Scotland, there is no fixed syllabus and schools are free to draw up their own approaches

i think that this story is simply one of many being generated by sections of the british (london based tabloid) media in an attempt to generate anti muslim feeling

there is no truth in it

it’s supposedly based on a ‘government backed’ survey that ’suggested’ some teachers in schools with a diverse ethnic pupil mix felt a degree of nervousness when talking about some aspects of 20th century history, which have been written from a purely western perspective. that’s it.

did your e-mail come from the daily mail per-chance?

Hmmm. Interesting. I do of course despise the DM but there is no evidence pointing to them directly on this one. Nevertheless the story is symptomatic of the Liberalisation (in a bad way ) of the UK so that we play it safe at every turn.

how can we learn from our mistakes made in history if future generations don’t learn about them? Children need to learn about things such as the Holocaust to ensure that such horrific things are not repeated.

This hoax email has been circulating for some considerable time and must be causing some considerable expense. Check this out for the true picture

Unfortunately, I think the photo of the soldier shooting the woman has long been considered a fake. Don’t worry, there are millions of others to choose from though that are all too real.

Hmmm, you can see why.

And I appreciate very much your comment Elaine. It seems I may have been suckered by this email but hey, lest we forget. Good to keep the issue fresh in people’s eyes.

I just recently came across many photos of my grandfather’s experiences such as fighting in this war……..and picking up the horrific pieces. I can not say how affected I am by this. I know now, what is. what was. and what I can teach my child to be.

well i just came up to this page because of a book i read
the book Night.
elie wisel and i just like the story sooo much i had to look up somethings involed with his story and experiens.

It may be a fake email, but you have to remember that a lot of schools throughout Europe still don’t include it in their curriculum. If we are to not mention the Holocaust because it offends Muslims, what about WWII? do we just forget about that because we have a German or Japanese student in the class? Were talking about a war that killed 20 million people! and what about things like the Russian revolution? If a teacher is to weak to confront their students about these things than they shouldn’t be teaching full stop.

Mark! Great article, our Youth are doing an entire service for Yom HaShoah this weekend so we remember, and never forget! So where does that get us 60 years later with the Holocaust of “abortion” and Am-a-dinna-jacket rearing his ugly head? Only leads me to believe the “Passover Lamb” is ready to reapperar!!! It would be a God-incidence if you were the Mark Gorman from Kenosha, Wisc. and we were party animals together? Does my name ring a bell? Shalom Alechem

I’m afraid it’s no coincidence. Shalom my friend.

I agree. We can learn from the past. Everything,
Has a meaning. These people need to realize that
it is much more than a fact, It is the truth. As
I said. We can learn from the past. My grandfather
happened to be in one of the concentration camps
in Buchenwald. He lived harsh. He died 1 year ago.
The jewish rabbi asked for us to cover his tattoo
[ the tattoo you get from being in the camp so they know your number ] to be covered. My grandfather automaticaly knew that was going to happen at his death. But my mother wanted people to here his pain from it and to hear his stories.
so we could learn from it. People need to learn
from our worlds conflicts.

This is true. we need to learn from our mistakes.
My grandfather was jewish. He got sent to a concentration camp in Buchenwald. There he got his tattoo explaining his pin number so they knew
if he was missing and what block he would be at.
My grandfather passed away recently and.. Our rabbi asked for the tattoo to be covered. We would not alow it. We want his stories to go on
and we want him to remembered from his braveness.
to escape to freedom. We need to learn from the truth.

I am very interested in this subject and I deeply sympathise with the sufferers of all of these camps. There are some very well written books on the subjects and, In particular I would refer you to my review of Auchwitz on my blog.
