you clearly do not understand why teaching about the Holocaust remains relevant. Maybe you would benefit from reflection of on what happens when people start to label, generalise, stereotype and discriminate against any group of people tell me why Jewish places of worship have needed security guards - and it’s not a new thing. Tell me why every now and then Jewish cemeteries are desecrated. Tell me why there are Jewish conspiracy theories - still. Tell me why Jewish school kids are experiencing bullying and name calling now. you clearly do not see that in suggesting that Jews lobby government you appear to be singling them out. Lobbiests come in all shapes and sizes. Churches, sporting bodies, businesses, financial institutions, education providers and specific sectors, and so on. There is nothing unusual or sinister about any group attempting to influence policy. It may not be a good thing that governments allow lobbying from anyone but it happens. I have no idea what led to you being stateless and what your experiences were or how you come to be in australia but I might have expected someone who has faced hardship to be more understanding. Maybe you has a capacity for empathy beaten out of you

I never mentioned that teaching students about the Holocaust is irrelevant but the omission of their involvement in Communism and Russian atrocities is intentional to perpetuate the victim syndrome. I always mentioned that their failings are no different to any other group of people.
