Abstract: Over the last few years, resistance to Holocaust education among Muslim students has been big news in the Netherlands. This chapter discusses the debate and presents findings of observations during a series of Holocaust lessons in six different classes in secondary education at two Amsterdam schools. This concerned a separate teaching package, in which two peer educators taught on the Holocaust and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In order to gain a better understanding of verbal and non-verbal communication in the classroom, we have made use of the speech act theory by Austin and Searle. Our findings make clear how students make casual anti-Jewish remarks that indicate a more lasting attitude toward Jews and their position in present-day society, but also indicate that insinuations, sarcasm and types of non-verbal communication complicate straightforward interpretations of the practice of speech.

Abstract: Haatspraak gaat over de 21e-eeuwse golf aan antisemitische incidenten op straat en op internet, over de verstoringen van dodenherdenking en de problemen in het onderwijs over de Holocaust.

Door terug te gaan in de tijd plaatst Remco Ensel het spreken over Israël en de Holocaust in een naoorlogse en internationale geschiedenis van protest en provocatie. Te beginnen met de studentenprotesten in de jaren zestig tot de Tweede Intifada, van 'zionazi' tot 'Adolf Sharon', van de Rushdie-affaire tot Mohammed B.
