Two Perspectives - both are right
by Dr. Mark Nataupsky
President, Holocaust Education Foundation, Inc.

Nataupsky's editiorial looks at the complex issue of balancing the need to attack terrorists while
preserving the rights of innocent people.

Nataupsky's editorial "Equality, Fairness and Justice" and Netanyahu's speech "We Are All Targets"
were not responses to each other. Nataupsky believes those articles present diverse viewpoints that
must be integrated into our responses to the recent terrorist attacks in America.

Equality, Fairness and Justice

This web site strives to combat prejudice and bigotry by transforming the horrors of the Holocaust into positive lessons to help make this a better and safer world for everybody. People are being abducted and sold into slavery, but we can and we must do something to combat it. An editorial provides both background information and a call to action

Kosovo, Holocaust and Differences
by Dr. Mark Nataupsky
President, Holocaust Education Foundation, Inc.
Reprinted from the Daily Press
Thursday, July 29, 1999

In April 1999, a sixth-grade student's parent asked how she should compare what was then happening in Kosovo with the Holocaust. My response was later written as an OpEd article that was published in the local paper. The text of that article is reproduced here. When we compare the two sets of events, we must remember that we are evaluating similarities and differences. In this comparison we cannot equate the events.

Some people define the Holocaust as applicable to people other than the Jews. Most scholars attribute the Holocaust to the Jewish people and recognize the other people who also were victimized by the Nazis. Two editorial pieces are presented with opposing points of view. They are presented on this site to encourage discussions among the general public as well as to provide educators with supplemental material they can use in classroom activities.
