Ever since a \u00a02012 visit to the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, I\u2019ve known that the left has been very busy reworking the Holocaust so that it\u2019s not about a unique evil visited upon the Jewish people, but is just shorthand for deaths in the Third World and Middle East (except, of course, for Jewish deaths). It\u2019s not just the Anne Frank House. Other organizations once dedicated to Anne Frank have become actively antisemitic.

Hoping to prevent another Holocaust from ever occurring, in 2000 the Martins established the MSI at NAU, along with another one at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel. It was not intended to be a Holocaust memorial, looking backward, but was meant to prevent a future Holocaust by ending mindsets that dehumanized some people, that created a hierarchy of worthy versus unworthy people, or that otherwise set the stage for demanding the eradication of a specific set of people.<\/p>\n

To that end, MSI\u2019s mission is to attend \u201cto the experiences of the Holocaust in order to relate them to today\u2019s concerns, crises, and conflicts,\u201d while emphasizing the values of moral courage, empathy, resilience, reconciliation, justice, and tolerance.<\/p>\n

While the MSI still does a lot of Holocaust related work, it\u2019s suffered institutional capture, so that its focus has drifted far, far left. Now, in addition to reminding people of the Holocaust so they can steer away from deadly ethnic and ideological hatreds, :<\/p>\n
