z pracy w Yad Vashem. W rozmowie z grupą zwiedzających wzmiankował
Deir Yassin.
<<Shapira confirmed, in a telephone conversation with Haaretz, that
he had spoken to visitors about the 1948 massacre at Deir Yassin.
He said he did so because the ruins of the Arab village, today a part
of Jerusalem's Givat Shaul neighborhood, can be seen as one leaves
Yad Vashem.
"Yad Vashem talks about the Holocaust survivors' arrival in Israel
and about creating a refuge here for the world's Jews. I said there
were people who lived on this land and mentioned that there are other
traumas that provide other nations with motivation," Shapira said.
"The Holocaust moved us to establish a Jewish state and the
Palestinian nation's trauma is moving it to seek self-determination,
identity, land and dignity, just as Zionism sought these things," he
said.
A Yad Vashem official said the institution objects to any political
use of the Holocaust, especially by a docent working for it.
The institution's position is that the Holocaust cannot be compared
to any other event and that every visitor can draw his own political
conclusions.>>
I to ostatnie stanowisko, to o zadekretowanej nieporównywalności,
jest - jak dla mnie - nieustannie interesujące. Albowiem ma charakter
religijnego dogmatu.
Jakoś tak.
