How should the Holocaust be taught in Israeli schools? The problem is exacerbated by the fragmented nature of Israeli society, made up of the descendants of pioneers' families, Islamic adherents, and native-born Sabras. Each group demands a separate approach. The author avers that the Holocaust underlay not only the 1948 War of Independence but also the Sinai War (1956) and the three-week period before the 1967 Six-Day War.
