Schools run by the United Nations in the Gaza Strip were considering including the Holocaust as part of the curriculum this year — but the idea was put on hold when some Palestinians protested the idea.

The schools in question are run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which also provides aid for Palestinian refugees throughout the Middle East. Andrew Whitley, the director of UNRWA’s New York office, joins Daljit Dhaliwal to discuss the organization’s position and how the Holocaust is handled in Middle Eastern schools.
