In a time were so much is done in Europe to have an intercultural exchange and to avoid discrimination between the many groups residing in our regions, in a North London Kindergarten the British three-year-olds have been told "the non-Jews" are “evil”.
We can not ignore the horror which was done to the Jewish race but to teach about the holocaust to toddlers is going very far and touching a subject they cannot comprehend.
At the Beis Rochel boys’ school in north London.
A whistle-blower, who wished to remain anonymous, has shown
The Independent
a worksheet given to boys aged three and four at the school. In it,
children were asked to complete questions related to the holiday of 21
Kislev, observed by Satmer Jews as the day its founder and holy Rebbe,
Rabbi
Yoel Teitelbaum, escaped the Nazis.
The document refers to Nazis only as “goyim” – a term for non-Jews some people argue is offensive.
Emily Green, who used to teach at the same Beis Rochel girls’
secondary school, now chairs the Gesher EU organisation which supports
ultra-Orthodox Jews who want to leave the community.
"It's not
uncommon to be taught non-Jewish people are evil in ultra-Orthodox
Jewish schools. It is part of the prayers, teaching, their whole ethos,”
she said.
Describing it as a form of “indoctrination”, Ms Green
added:
“Psychologically, you become so afraid of the world out there
after being taught how dangerous and bad and evil non-Jews are, that it
makes it harder to leave.”
