Denying Hamas violence against Jewish girls and women during the October 7, 2023 terror attack in Israel is akin to denying the Earth is round. The evidence, after all, comes not from Israel itself, but from Hamas terrorists who filmed their atrocities. To tolerate denial on university campuses, foreign ministries, and in UN agencies is to fail to understand the lessons of how atrocities against women signal intent to genocide.
When I first decided to move to Germany as a 16-year-old Jewish American, many things crossed my mind. I had just been accepted to participate in the Congress Bundestag Youth Exchange, a program run by the State Department which sends 250 American teens to Germany each year. The long and tedious application process had given me time to think about future challenges and potential dynamics.
The exclusion of women from history curricula harms all students regardless of gender. For example, in my ninth grade history class, we only heard about three women (Abigail Adams, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Marie Antoinette). My teacher mentioned each woman in one part of one class period. We never wrote anything about them, we were not tested on them, and we did not use any of them to engage in larger conversations about the changing roles of women in the history we studied.
