Morry Frenkel speaks with Emeritus Professor Konrad Kwiet, Resident Historian at the Sydney Jewish Museum, about his view that Holocaust and antisemitism education has done nothing to prevent the recent global upsurge in hate crimes and antisemitism and that, controversially, the “period of grace granted to Jews after Auschwitz has come to an end.” The real lessons of the Holocaust are that once democracy and the rule of law are collapsing, we will see once again what happened 80 years ago: a dictatorial regime implementing race ideologies as a state doctrine against minorities, defaming, discriminating, expelling and in the case of war, exterminating them. Professor Kwiet also explained his belief that hate ideologies, including antisemitism, have an important social function.
