Arab Role in Holocaust Overlooked by U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum
Several prominent US Jewish academic and social organizations have planned a national colloquium to discuss remedies to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museumâs failure to document the role Islamic groups played in the Holocaust.
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 13, 2006 — Several prominent US Jewish academic and social organizations have planned a national colloquium to discuss remedies to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museumâs failure to document the role Islamic groups played in the Holocaust. This meeting will also discuss the Museumâs silence in response to recent Holocaust denials and Anti-Semitic remarks attributed to Arab leaders. The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum is an organization heavily funded by the United States government.
âIt is a documented fact that Arabs in the Islamic world had a great influence in the Holocaust. This is not opinion, it is not âanti-Arab sentiment,â it is fact,â? commented Shelomo Alfassa, executive director of the International Society for Sephardic Progress (ISFSP). The ISFSP is joining with Holocaust Museum Watch (hmwatch.org), AMCHAâThe Coalition for Jewish Concerns and other groups to cosponsor the colloquium. MORE.
