Genocide, Eliminationism, and the Ongoing Assault on Humanity – a film by PBS and Daniel Jonah Goldhagen (author of the still controversial book, Hitler’s Willing Executioners.)

Before showing Goldhagen’s film, Mr. Holden will first show a power point about Goldhagen’s concept of Eliminationism and how it is still practiced on indigenous peoples around the world. Do these concepts apply to regions in the world like the Middle East, Ukraine, and the Sudan in North Africa? The film will be shown in its entirety and discussed in detail during the presentation. If the War in Gaza is still raging at this time, (God forbid!) the group will discuss the meanings of the words: Genocide, War Crimes, and Crimes Against Humanity as they relate to charges against Hamas and Israel.

Mr. Robert Holden is a retired Ocean City Gifted/talented teacher (ret.-2006) and retired Senior Adjunct Professor of History, teaching WC 1, WC 2, and his own created Holocaust and Genocide Studies Course at ACCC’s Cape May County campus. (ret. -2016)

He is on the board of the SJHC, the HPSUT and the Seaville Friends Meeting.

He has published several secondary history curriculum guides and two books, Upper Township and its Ten Villages and Visas to Shanghai (about the Chinese diplomat, Feng-Shan Ho who saved thousands of Viennese Jews during the Holocaust by writing them exit visas), both of which are available to check out from the library.
