BBC: Stop talking about the Holocaust?

[shira]

Should the world stop talking about the Holocaust?

The answer might be obvious to many, but the BBC wants to open it up to discussion.

As part of its special International Holocaust Remembrance Day programming, the BBC One show The Big Questions held a discussion on the lessons of the Holocaust, and how it is remembered today.

The show, which aired Sunday, featured rabbis, academics, survivors, and educators.

Un.Fucking.Real.

And folks wonder whether Jews have reason to be worried about their future in Europe?

1. While the premise is abhorrent, the discussion might actually be very helpful...

I continue to be shocked at how little the generations behind me seem to know of (non-recent) history, current events, and geography. If the Holocaust is to remain a key reminder of what can happen when the world turns a blind eye and a priority for future generations to know/understand, the reasons for why it must be remembered should likewise be part of the discussion.

2. Well sure, you've got a point since most haven't learned a damned thing....

....from the Nazi genocide.

Seems today with antisemitism being allowed to come back in full force once again, that Europe has yet to internalize and act upon it. Most of Europe was complicit with Germany during WW2.

3. I would very much like to participate in any DEBATES, on the issue.

However, I have been found too "Narrow Minded", by some folks on DU!

So, I'll just go back watching Cartoons on TV.
