david f,

For your info, the Catholic Church only officially ended its doctrine of "Perfidus Judaeis" (anti-Semitism) in the early sixties, much like the ending of official negative views of black people by the Mormon Church some years later.

As well as Jews, victims of the holocaust included Roma(Gypsies), Germans with disabilities and some of the Slavic peoples (especially Poles and Russians). Other groups were persecuted on political, ideological, and behavioral grounds - among them Communists, Socialists, Jehovah's Witnesses and homosexuals. Those likewise murdered groups are usually overlooked and it wasn't just the Nazis who were responsible for what happened.
Private citizens and neighbours were the ones who happily turned them over to the Nazis and a few countries who turned away fleeing Jewish refugees.

I would not like to survey Australians today and ask what they know of the Armenian genocide by Turkey during WWI, or in more recent times the Rwandan genocide of 1994. How can we forget the genocide committed by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Most likely Australians in general know little to nothing about these and other horrendous events that have taken place in modern times. WAR and MASS MURDER go hand in glove. If this evil is to be avoided in the future we must educate the young against ignorance, otherwise history will easily repeat itself.

On a more positive note just to provide a balance -
there were also, of course, numerous courageous men
and women who refused to participate in the subjugation
and destruction of the targeted groups and individuals.

There were Jews who interceded with their lives to save
persecuted Christians, there were Christians who died
in their attempts to save Jews. They died, some along
with their entire families, or accepted their fates in
concentration camps rather than betray their fellow men.

Some are known. but most perished and are known only to
God. These heroes embody human nobility in its highest form
and stand as beacons in the otherwise bleak history of
World War II.

A school board in Tennessee has banned the Holocaust book -
"Maus" by Art Spiegelman. It's acclaimed as the "most
effective and successful narrative ever done about the
Holocaust."

Has anybody read it?

It's available from your local library or good book shop.

I'll have to try to get a hold of it and see for myself
what (if any) problems there are.

My apologies I misspelt Spiegelman's name.
