Passed 26/07/16 at SRC 5 2016 Condemning Holocaust Denial (Motion of the Australian Union of Jewish Students) Preamble On Monday, 15 August, leaflets were distributed in the Xxxxxxx car park and other locations on campus, which expressly denied the existence of the Holocaust, describing it as “the greatest xxxxxxx of all time” and the “Holohoax.” These statements are unacceptable from any individual. The incident reflects the normalization of the Holocaust, and are an attack on the collective memory and trauma of the Jewish community. Indeed, the perspectives of students are often formed and concretized on campus for life. If these views prevail, it reflects our joint failure to not only protect Jews and minorities on campus, but also in the fight against racial discrimination and anti-semitism. Moreover, this behaviour explicitly rejects the fundamental value we as Australians place on diversity and inclusivity. By publicly denying the Holocaust, these students insulted Jewish students, LGBTIQ students, disabled students, people of socialist ideology (who were also persecuted) and all other ethnic and social groups which fell victim to the systematic assault on life during the Holocaust. Everyone has the right to feel safe and welcome on campus. ANU students pride ourselves on fostering an environment that is culturally and ethnically diverse and harmonious. As such, we must together act promptly and resolve the underlying problems of discrimination on campus. The Australasian Union of Jewish Students is seeking the assistance of ANUSA to work together to prevent further instances of racial and ethnic discrimination on campus.
