Should Palestinians Visit Nazi Concentration Camps?

[European Knight]

A Palestinian professor takes his students to visit Auschwitz to learn about the roots of their conflict with the Israelis.

“We are breaking a big taboo. We are challenging the collective narrative of the Palestinians regarding the Holocaust.” Dr. Mohammed Dajani has become known worldwide as the Palestinian professor who led a group of students to visit

the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp. But he began life with a very different point of view. “We grew up in an environment that was totally anti-Jewish,” Dajani – a native of Jerusalem – explains. “People harbored a lot of

anger towards the Jews for causing the Nakba (Catastrophe). They lost their property, they lost their home, they lost their identity. I grew up on the idea that the Holocaust was a conspiracy.”

But something happened during Dajani's early adulthood that helped change his black-and-white view of Israelis. And recently, he organized a trip that caused a firestorm. The plan was to take thirty Palestinian students to visit Auschwitz.

At the same time, thirty Israeli students planned to visit a Palestinian refugee camp, where they would hear from refugees of the Nakba. Dajani strongly believes that reconciliation between the two communities will never happen without

each community understanding the historical, and current, trauma of the other.

lol. The Jews fucking firebomb them and still expect people to feel bad for them.
That being said, I kinda understand where Dajani is coming from

Holocaust deniers should. I don't think Palestinians should have to visit, not all are holocaust deniers. They should all learn about it in school though, as it is crucial to understanding the origins of the conflict. Denying it will not bring upon peace, however in defense of the Palestinians, I would like to point out that those interested in peace and reconciliation usually don't deny it.

He's right but the role of the Palestinian wartime leader shouldn't be whitewashed either. Unfortunately Palestinian identity, which is very confused due to Palestinians really being Islamised/Arabised Israelites, has been easily manipulated by extremist Islamists, Pan-Arabists etc.

What will it change ?

Don't give them ideas! They risk to be inspired!

Maybe they should. Maybe everybody should. I saw some pretty sad things when I visited the Holocaust Museum a few years ago. It'll be very emotional and have quite an impact.

More men like him are needed.

It's not necessary, we could build some concentration camps for them in Israel and they don't need to come to Germany to visit them.

I do believe that Auschwitz remain in Poland.
