TIMESONLINE: One of the world's leading Holocaust education centres has accused British school teachers of committing an "offence" against the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis by failing to teach the genocide properly due to political correctness.
The Simon Wiesenthal Centre used Holocaust Remembrance Day, which is today, to write an open letter to Alan Johnson, the Education Secretary, claiming it is "horrified" by a report funded by his department which revealed that teachers often avoided dealing with the Holocaust because they did not want to cause offence to children from other races or religions.

Welcome, Ismail!
You are absolutely right. I find it disgraceful that people, whoever they are, can try and airbrush facts like this out of history. Approximately 6 million poor people perished in that Holocasut. We should NEVER forget this, for the sake of the victims, and for people today, and future generations, to know the cruelty man is capable of. My heart bleeds for those poor, poor people.
We,in the West, are living in la-la land. Political correctness has overwhelmed us to the degree that making people feel good and/or not offending others trumps the truth. No society that values feeling good over truth has ever or will ever survive. I only hope and pray that our leaders wake up in time to stop our headlong plunge toward ultimate disaster.
Well said cybercrusader.
Welcome to Euro LaLa Land.
Ismail's blog is very good, and highlights an area of the world one would not have thought of as teetering towards chaos.
I wonder how many tourists are aware of this as they lie on the beaches there?
Fantastic blog Ismail--I highly recommend it--especially to most Westerners who don't receive news about many areas of the world. We are hungry for real news about what is happening to others around the world.
Ismail:
I'm going to link to your blog this morning. I'm sorry it has taken me so long. Yes, it's a great blog. Bravo!

That's a great insight. I wish our leaders would take heed of your warning.
