Auschwitz

Has the world forgotten?

Has the world become inured?

Send Them To Auschwitz?

Funny thing is I heard this news on both Sky and BBC TV news yesterday but despite a comprehensive search I could not find it mentioned on their websites nor in any other newspaper but the Daily Express:

Two sixth-form pupils from every school in England are to visit Auschwitz, in a Government-funded initiative to spread awareness of the Holocaust.

Selected pupils will meet with survivors of the Nazi concentration camp and be shown collections of victim's hair, shoes and clothes.

They will then get to see the barracks, gas chambers and crematoria to experience the environment where more than a million Jews, gypsies, homosexuals and other persecuted minorities were killed during the Second World War.

Announcing the £4.65 million programme, schools minister Jim Knight said he hoped the students, aged 16 to 18, would help to educate their classmates on their return home by giving their own accounts of their experience.

What's the betting that an exception will be made for Muslim children? On second thoughts maybe it wouldn't be a good idea to send Muslim kids to Auschwitz. We don't want to give them any ideas of how they might deal with the Jews in the UK when they are in control some time in the future.
