(Jewish Group) If we want to tackle antisemitism in the modern world, then we need make GCSE history

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

If we want to tackle antisemitism in the modern world, then we need make GCSE history a compulsory subject in schools

It is time to rethink how we teach our children about the Holocaust.

Ivor Perl was just 12 years old when he arrived in Auschwitz. Since he first spoke about his experiences in the mid-1990s, Perl has been active in promoting the memory of what happened to Europe’s Jews during the Holocaust across schools in the UK. Now he feels that there is no point in continuing to speak about his life.

Perl says that he feels the gulf of understanding between the school children he talks to is too wide for him to bridge. The pupils he encounters have such a poor understanding of what happened during the Second World War that his words fall on deaf ears.

This is certainly not his fault. Perl is an engaging and thoughtful speaker. He remembers the Holocaust through a child’s eyes when he relates his story. As he recalls the deportation, he recounts his childish excitement of riding on a train for the first time. He excitedly peeked through the cracks in the floorboards of the carriage watching the tracks pass by, unaware of the horrors that lay ahead.

3. Social media needs to be a focus. This is where they're recruiting a new generation of Jew haters.

Social media has allowed hatred towards Jews to go unchecked for far too long.

Paul Nehlen, who went full Hitler was able to spew his hate towards Jews for months. He didn't get banned until he posted a racist image of Prince Harry's fiance.

"He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future." Hitler

4. When I was at school....

...the Second World War and how it started was something you had to learn pre-GCSE, and you can't teach that subject at all without dealing with how the Nazi's viewed Jews.

Although I do remember not understanding at all why Hitler was such an obsessed anti-semite. That sort of codswallop is still difficult to rationalize.
