This is such important work especially as we face another wave of global antisemitism. thank you for your work. It has always stood out to me that the holocaust in particular was a religious war, based on and reflecting the pernicious view that "Jews" were incapable of being part of the wider cultural narrative of the lands they resided in, yet when we teach the holocaust and antisemitism, we refer to the victim as "Jews", yet the (Christian) neighbors by their nationality only. I'm not sure why this so (Along with the use of the term "Died", a normal biological function, instead of the more accurate and relevant "Murdered"). In a way, those who teach about the horrors of the holocaust seem to be unwittingly reinforcing the underlying, perniciousness of "Otherism" that was ultimately the fuel for the holocaust (and Antisemitism itself). I understand the use of the term "Jew" to differentiate their unique status as targets of systematic destruction, but why not remind that their friends and neighbors weren't simply or "Just" Poles, " but Catholics or Christians as well. A little light often leads to some deeper awareness of the uncomfortable truths required to prevent another Shoah and eradicate Antisemitism entirely.
