Relevance: <\/strong>learnings from the Holocaust<\/strong><\/p>\n

News<\/strong>: 27th January is remembered as International Holocaust Remembrance Day<\/strong>. Six million Jews were murdered by Nazi-Germany in the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

What can we learn from the Holocaust?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Holocaust gives us the message that there is a need to respect human rights,<\/strong> have patience and respect others<\/strong> from different societies, race, sex, etc.<\/p>\n

It is an example of the consequences of hate crimes and antisemitism that made their way into the mainstream. Antisemitism becomes more dangerous<\/strong> when used for power-related purposes or during crisis and uncertainty.<\/p>\n

Today, the world is struggling with inequality<\/strong>, intolerance, and injustice in many places. Economic, cultural, religious and<\/strong> ethnic issues lead to division, hate crimes and violence in many parts of the globe.<\/p>\n

Moreover, there has also been an increase in the number of antisemitic incidents against Jews all around the world.<\/p>\n

Therefore, education about the Holocaust is necessary<\/strong> to understand the factors that led to the eradication of human rights and democratic values.<\/p>\n

It can also help to understand circumstances that can cause increase in hate speech, violence, and even mass killing.<\/p>\n

With this view, UNESCO has the initiative<\/strong> known as the International Program on Holocaust and Genocide Education (IPHGE<\/strong>). It is a step in the direction of fostering reparative justice.<\/p>\n

The programme teaches the youth values, prepare them to address future challenges such as critical thinking, empathy, tolerance, and respect for human rights.<\/p>\n

How does India view the Holocaust?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Holocaust in India is just a historical event<\/strong> and India has not been able to connect emotionally with the event.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it is necessary to educate the youth all around the world including India about the Holocaust to help them to analyse the past injustices and create a just present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
