#holocausteducation — Public Fediverse posts

"Last week, #DaraHorn was hosted on #HavivRettigGur’s #podcast, “#AskHavivAnything,” to discuss her past #book and her soon-to-be-released book, both of which argue that #Holocaust #education in the #UnitedStates commonly fails to teach about the #Jewish people and #antisemitism, with possible negative consequences.

As #Horn has famously put it, our world seems far more invested in teaching about “dead #Jews” than about Jewish life. She suggests that this approach may reinforce the very hatred it is supposed to inoculate against.

Within hours of that episode airing, #Instagram accounts were using clips from the podcast to accuse the #Holocausteducation organization I work for of harming Jews. I am certain this is not what Horn intends, but one consequence of her argument is that it can easily be reduced to the belief that “Holocaust education does not work.”

It does, in fact, not work and the positive indicators in the article make Horn's case not Cunningham's. 🙄
