And I went in.

And a few minutes after, you forget you're Palestinian.

You forget, not that you forget who you are, but you forget this is about us versus them.

And so that's, I think, what all of us have to go through.

And my dad, when I started doing peace work, I invited my dad to an event when I was at the parent circle.

And he came to an event, his first peace event, and his first question in front of hundreds of people was about the Holocaust.

And it wasn't, you know, oh, I want to learn.

It was like, did the Holocaust happen?

Or is it, you know, because Israel keeps justifying its actions against us using the Holocaust?

Yeah.

And it was a very hard question.

Nobody wanted to answer it.

People, you can look at people's faces like, oh, I can't believe he asked that question.

And it was one of those moments you kind of, everybody is going like, how are we going to deal with this?

And eventually, one of the members of the parent circle whose father was in Auschwitz, Ramil Hanan, he stood up and he told my dad, he said, look,

I don't expect you to believe in something you never learned.

This is absurd.

So I want you to learn about the Holocaust.

Can my dad, a Holocaust survivor, take you?

to Yad Vashem.
