GAZA, September 5, 2009 (WAFA)- 'The quotes attributed by the Simon Wiesenthal Center to UNRWA's Commissioner General, Karen AbuZayd and UNRWA's Gaza Director, John Ging are false.
The UNRWA said in a statement: We condemn Holocaust denial in all its forms and we reject the politicization of the Holocaust.
UNRWA will remain focused on positive curriculum development in teaching children the human rights values enshrined in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights.
UNRWA is committed to human rights education. UNRWA rejects any denial of the Holocaust as an historical event.
UNRWA implements a human rights, conflict resolution and tolerance programme in its schools in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza. In Gaza, UNRWA is strengthening this programme by developing a dedicated human rights curriculum anchored in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
