YEREVAN. -- Presentation of "History of the Holocaust in the USSR"
manual was held at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute on Saturday.
This manual will be a contribution to Armenia's education system in
terms of telling about the Holocaust carried out by Nazi Germany
during the Second World War, co-chairman of the center of the
Holocaust, Russian professor Ilya Altman said.
"The book which we published in 2002 and which was the first manual on
Holocaust recommended by the Ministry of Education in the post-Soviet
area, will be published in the native language here," he said.
Armenia has accumulated vast experience in teaching the Armenian
Genocide. The publication of this book is the first step to exchange
the methods, techniques, historical information that links the tragedy
of the two nations.
He stressed that Auschwitz was liberated by representatives of
different nationalities, and there were definitely Armenians among
them.
"I have been already told stories about the rescue of Jews by
Armenians. Therefore, today's presentation is a very important event
for us," Altman added.
One of the problems, he added, is to consolidate teachers and
researchers from Russia and Armenia, also Jewish and Armenian
communities in other countries to not only tell the world about these
tragedies, but so that this kind of books could become red line
against any hatred, genocide against any other nation.
