Public Commentary Remarks at April 12 Ann Arbor School Board meeting: I once again want to thank the Board for allowing me to address you tonight. As you know Iâ€™ve been interested in what Ann Arbor students are being taught about the Holocaust, and how we are molding them to become independent thinkers. The information that the Board has provided me will be the basis of my remarks. From page 936 of World History â€“ Patterns of Interaction, our students read â€œThe Nazis proclaimed that the Germanic peoples were a -quote â€“ master race â€“ end quoteâ€. I think weâ€™re all accustomed to that claim. But I note that thereâ€™s no attribution to that quote, no reference. Which Nazi leader said those words? Thereâ€™s no way for the student to know. If the student were equipped with books that challenge that claim â€“ such as Benton Bradberryâ€™s The Myth of German Villainy â€“ he could read that no Nazi ever said those words. And if the student were encouraged to do so, he could download a copy of Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler and could scan for â€œmaster raceâ€. He wonâ€™t find it, and he may be puzzled by the claim. He may even conclude that â€œmaster raceâ€ was merely wartime propaganda, in which all sides took part. On the same page, students read that the beginning of the Holocaust targeted Jews due to German failures. â€œSome Germans even blamed Jews for their countryâ€™s defeat in World War Iâ€. As if nothing could be further from the truth. But Alison Weirâ€™s book â€œAgainst Our Better Judgmentâ€ documents clearly that during that war, when Germany was about to defeat Britain and had actually offered a negotiated peace, Zionist Jews engaged in the process of getting the US into the war on Britainâ€™s side. Prominent American Jews like Louis Brandeis and Felix Frankfurter worked behind the scenes to accomplish this task, and were in fact successful at getting the Americans into the war, which ensured Germanyâ€™s defeat. So, what is ridiculed in the text our students read, is actually the true historic accounting of events. And again, on the same page, the student is introduced to Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass. He reads â€œNazi storm troopers attacked Jewish homes, businesses and synagogues across Germany and murdered close to 100 Jewsâ€. But our student will not be introduced to authors David Irving and Ingrid Weckert, who dispute this claim. They take pains to point out that Nazi officials, up to and including Hitler, were at odds with the gangs who committed these crimes against German Jews. In fact, Weckert writes â€œHitler was furious and immediately ordered the chief of police of Munich to come see him.â€ He ordered the chief to stop the fire and ensure that no other violence took place. The work of these authors and others depict the violence against Jews on Kristallnacht as being locally inspired and not the result of Nazi policy. For our students to decide critically what actually happened, he must be informed from an array of sources, not just one. I hope the Board takes notice of these corrections of history and implements a more comprehensive sourcing of information for Ann Arbor Students. Thank you
