The Holocaust and the Nakba
Historiography on the two events / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Holocaust and the Nakba have come to be regarded as interrelated events in discussions of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Both historically and in the way these two tragedies have influenced perceptions of the conflict by both parties.[1] In Israel, all Israeli Jews are considered survivors of the Holocaust who must implement the imperative of never again in regards to being a Jewish victim.[2] The uniqueness of the Holocaust is emphasized and any linkage between the Holocaust and the Nakba is rejected.[3][4] The 2018 book The Holocaust and the Nakba argues that "unless we can hold these two moments in our hearts and minds as part of the same story, there can be no moving forward in the seemingly unmovable conflict that is Israel-Palestine".[4]
