A Pakistan-born Muslim woman with a Ph.D. from a South African university who directs the Holocaust, Genocide and Interfaith Education Center at Manhattan College, a New York City Catholic school, has written a pioneering and courageous book about the Shoah (Holocaust).
In Shoah Through Muslim Eyes, Afridi goes where few Muslim authors have ventured: a piercing cri de coeur delving into what she terms the “unprecedented” evil of Nazi Germany’s attempt to annihilate the entire Jewish people.
Afridi, a faithful Muslim, is appalled, better, is ashamed of the horrific anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial that exists among many followers of Islam throughout the world. Indeed, she writes about her frustration and exhaustion when she encounters the false negative perceptions held by her co-religionists “…about Jews…the Shoah, Judaism and Zionism.”
