Abstract
Two scholars in educational sciences engage in a dialogue with the Palestinian political philosopher Nadim Khoury on the relationship between the Holocaust and the Nakba and on the possibility of bringing these two memories into conversation within a perspective of peace and reconciliation, even in the dramatic context currently affecting the Palestinian people. Khoury reflects on the ambition of a project that seeks to place side by side historical traumas that have shaped mutually exclusive national narratives, while acknowledging its fragility, made even more evident after 7 October 2023 and the events in Gaza. The interview also addresses the legacy of the Oslo process, the politics of school textbooks, and the asymmetries in the teaching of history. The reflections accompanying the dialogue highlight the relevance of this approach within European and international educational spaces, where the Holocaust occupies a central place in civic education while the Nakba remains largely marginal, underscoring the urgency of developing a more established public history of the Nakba in dialogue with the memory of the Holocaust.
