JERUSALEM — More than 60 years after the Holocaust, the Foreign
Ministry is working to keep the Nazi genocide at the forefront of
international consciousness.

The ministry submitted a resolution to the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization this week calling for the creation
of a UNESCO-sponsored curriculum to teach students around the
world about the Holocaust and its role in history.

The Holocaust Remembrance resolution, proposed by the ministry's
Division of International Organizations, aims to preserve the memory
of the Holocaust while preventing its denial.

"There's a need for UNESCO, as the main organ of education at the
United Nations, to be active in commemorating the Holocaust," said
division head Orli Gil. "It's not just about memorials and ceremonies.
[UNESCO] will take it further, to schools and research institutions
around the world."

UNESCO will vote on the draft resolution at its 34th General
Conference, which started Tuesday and runs through November 3.

According to the ministry, 70 countries from every continent,
including one Arab state, support the bill.

Campaign to suppress historical criticism

"Despite the advent of a new Holocaust denier, in the form of Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the ministry has registered a unique
diplomatic achievement prior to the opening of the UNESCO General
Conference expected to adopt the resolution," the ministry said in
a statement.

Gil said the ministry expected the initiative to be ratified by the end
of the month.

The Holocaust Remembrance resolution is part of an ongoing campaign
by the ministry to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive through
association with the UN and its multilateral institutions.

In 2005, the UN established International Holocaust Memorial Day on
January 27, the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death
camp.* In 2006, the international body passed a resolution condemning
Holocaust denial.

"With time, the living witnesses to the Holocaust will disappear, and
we need to have a very strong notion of the Holocaust, especially
among the different nations who do not know much about it," Gil said.
"We wish to have Holocaust awareness as widespread as possible."
