Teaching the Holocaust | National Catholic Reporter

Teaching the Holocaust | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: I remember seeing the holocaust witness film shot by the US soldiers when I was in 9th grade.  Every student should and the chain of custody of the evidence, including the Nuremburg trials, should be discussed as well.  Bring a copy of the proceedings of the Nuremberg trials to class and make them see how big they are.  Seems like good evidence to me.  What is not usually taught is the Porajmos - the Romany holocaust.  No one survived that one unless they evaded capture or emigrated earlier - as did my ancestors.  Sadly, Elie Weisel for years protested our inclusion in the DC Holocaust Museum.  Shameful - especially given how Romany are still treated in much of Europe - especially Italy.  Of course, it may be because the new Romany in Italy are Kalderashi from Romania, rather than the native Calle.
