Holocaust remembrance in a Muslim country
The main theme of Holocaust Remembrance Day is “Never Again.” In Dubai’s ceremony, a new dimension was added.
(April 18, 2021 / JNS) Marking Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day in an Arab country would once have been considered unthinkable. Yet, this is exactly what a group of us did on April 7 at the Crossroads of Civilizations Museum in Dubai.
The location in the historical Shindagha neighborhood, which boasts the unchanged original architecture of the homes of the sheikhs, was special. That the museum is located in the former residence of Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum, the second cousin once removed of Dubai’s current ruler, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, was even more so.
