(Jewish Group) Holocaust education 'not enough' to tackle antisemitism, Unesco warns

[Behind the Aegis]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Openly antisemitic attitudes are no longer limited to extremist circles and are increasingly voiced in the mainstream, the United Nations’ cultural agency has warned.

Unesco said that Jews in Europe were feeling under "renewed danger" and that while teaching people about the Holocaust is important, it is not an adequate substitute for education that aims to prevent antisemitism.

“If anti-Semitism is exclusively addressed through Holocaust education, students might conclude that anti-Semitism is not an issue today or misconceive its contemporary forms,” the agency said in a report published on Monday.

“It is appropriate and necessary to incorporate lessons about anti-Semitism into teaching about the Holocaust because it is fundamental to understanding the context in which discrimination, exclusion and, ultimately, the destruction of Jews in Europe took place.”

1. "the destruction of Jews in Europe"

It was the destruction of civil society combined with promoting the death of Jews and other pesky genetically flawed Europeans. The goal was to usurp their wealth and influence using their greedy followers' prejudice and by all means the despots could devise. imo

I say UNSECO may be politically motivated to act?

2. Given UNESCO

Is more-often-than-not itself antisemitic, I find its recommendations rather distracting from the point.
