NSW kids 'don't know about Holocaust'
July 10, 2008 - 12:11PM
The Jewish community says it is "greatly concerned" NSW students can
pass through school without learning about the Holocaust.
NSW Education Department head Michael Coutts-Trotter learned a month ago
that the Holocaust had been omitted from the state's mandatory history
course.
"You can get through compulsory schooling in NSW and never know that the
Holocaust, the destruction of Jews in Europe, actually happened," he
said in a speech to high school principals, re****ted by News Ltd.
"You will know a lot about Don Bradman, and that's terrific. But I think
to live life, you need to know the Holocaust happened."
NSW Jewish Board of Deputies Vic Alhadeff said on Thursday he was
greatly concerned with the situation and commended Mr Coutts-Trotter for
drawing attention to it.
"This is a matter of great concern to the Jewish community, which works
towards social cohesion as a matter of principle," he said in a
statement.
"To this end, the Board of Deputies is working in consultation with the
NSW Department of Education, the NSW Board of Studies and other
community groups, especially those whose histories include experiences
of state-sponsored terror and genocide.
"We applaud Mr Coutts-Trotter for drawing attention to an issue which is
germane to social cohesion in our society."
A spokeswoman for the NSW Board of Studies said it was not true that
students had no op****tunity to learn about the Holocaust.
"There are op****tunities to study the Holocaust and its consequences in
a number or ways in both mandatory and elective history," she said.
