Genocide Denial in Holocaust Studies: Raz Segal on Gaza & 80 Years After Auschwitz Liberation

Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt Holocaust survivors on Monday marked the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp, where Nazi Germany exterminated over 1 million Jews and other minority groups between 1940 and 1945. The commemoration comes as the number of Holocaust survivors dwindles worldwide and far-right forces gain strength across Europe and the United States. For more, we speak with Israeli American historian Raz Segal, who says the academic field of Holocaust studies has a blind spot when it comes to Israel and its actions in Palestine, from the 1948 Nakba to the genocidal assault on Gaza. "Since October 2023, so many Holocaust scholars have gone out of their way to protect Israel," says Segal. "It's very grotesque."
