Malmö: Muslims want to learn more about the Holocaust


Via Sydsvenskan (Swedish):

Five young men at the Latin School, all Muslims, wanted to learn and teach their whole class more about the Holocaust. The boys organized a class trip to the Auschwitz extermination camp and made a documentary about it.

"There is ignorance about the Holocaust in Malmö. And many are directing their hatred against both Jews and Muslims. We want to show that you shouldn't blame all Jews for what happens in Israel and that we, as Muslims, aren't terrorists," Siavosh Derakhti, one of the organizers, said when the film was shown in the school auditorium.

Björn Lagerbäck (FP), coordinator of the Dialog Forum, was at hand and invited the youth to participate in the forum, which was formed to combat hate crimes and discrimination.
