In this episode, we explore and question the importance of teaching Holocaust & Genocide education. Two guests with different backgrounds in unique geographical locations, Johannesburg & East Jerusalem who are dedicated to teaching holocaust and genocide education joins us to provide two distinct frames of references.

"I came from a family of holocaust survivors. My parents were from Poland. My mother was a refugee, she managed to escape but my father suffered in four different concentration camps but his life and the life of his brother were saved by a German, a member of the Nazi party, Oscar Schindler, who today is very famous because of the film Schindlers list. The way I grew up with a very liberal father who use to say, "people have choices, you cannot put people in boxes, because Oscar Schindler was a German, a member of the Nazi party but he saved my life, so I am alive because of this German." Tali Nates, Founder & Director of the Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre.

"Holocaust denial is against the truth and I believe that we should face the truth and there was a tragic event that took place and we should not deny it so as a sign of respect for the truth we should learn about it. Also, it is showing respect for the victims of the holocaust and as a result, this is a sign of humanity. Also, we must learn from genocide to avoid more genocides but sadly it still makes news. Also we don't know how many genocides were avoided because of genocide education." Prof. Mohammed Dajani Daoudi, Founder & Executive Director of Wasatia in East Jerusalem.

We also discuss the nature of why holocaust denialism is prevalent in Palestine.
