Classrooms in strife-torn Gaza may be the site of a controversial experiment in teaching about human rights, a program that includes a section on the lessons of the Holocaust and on the immorality of purposely firing rockets into civilian areas.
Those classrooms will be one of the only places in the Arab world where a Shoah-related curriculum is being taught, according to John Ging, director of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which developed the initiative.
"If you're going to teach human rights in a very intensive way, you cannot but teach the Holocaust and all that goes with that," Ging explained.
