Book: Among the Righteous - Lost Stories from the Holocaust's Long Reach into Arab Lands


National Public Radio continues to show a ton of anti-Israel bias, but I have to complement them when they do something right.

Today, on their afternoon news program "All Things Considered", they interviewed the author of the book "Among the Righteous - Lost Stories from the Holocaust's Long Reach into Arab Lands". It included a fascinating discussion into how the Holocaust is treated in Arab schools, which apparently is a mix of Holocaust Denial, cheering of Hitler, and Holocaust "Minimization" - a rather relevant term given Iran's recent Holocaust Cartoon Contest and current Holocaust Conference.

I highly recommend you listen to the interview: Click here, and then click the red "Listen" button - it'll prompt you to pick which player you want, and then will play the track.

Also NPR had the following note:

Because of intense interest in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, NPR makes available free transcripts of its coverage. The transcript for this story will be available soon. Please check back later today or tomorrow.
