New Holocaust research institute

Here's news of the opening, in Nazareth, of an institute of Holocaust research with a difference:

Tel Aviv - While foreign heads of state, dignitaries and guests gathered in Jerusalem Tuesday for the opening of Israel's new Holocaust museum, Khaled Mahamid opened the first Arab institute for Holocaust research and teaching.

Mahamid, a lawyer by trade, told Ynet he believes the lack of knowledge about the Holocaust among Arabs fuels the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
.....
[L]ack of knowledge, he says,... prompts illogical statements, such as "what the Germans did to the Jews is what they (Jews) are doing to the Palestinians."

"Whoever knows what happened during the time of Nazi Germany understands that sentence is ridiculous, but it stems from a lack of basic information," he says.
