PTWF Commends Palestinian Muslim Professor Mohammad Dajani for Taking Al-Quds University Students on Historic Visit to Auschwitz

NEW YORK, April 14, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Pave the Way Foundation (PTWF), a nonsectarian organization whose mission is to achieve peace by eliminating non-theological obstacles and initiating historic gestures between the world's religions, commends the recent actions of Professor Mohammad S. Dajani Daoudi in his sincere effort to achieve peace through truth and historical accuracy. Professor Dajani recently brought 30 Palestinian university students to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp.

Mohammed S. Dajani Daoudi is the founder of the Wasatia movement, which promotes moderation in Islam, and the director of the American Studies department at Al-Quds University.

Facing criticism from some Palestinian leaders, Professor Dajani conducted this historic visit to Auschwitz in order to reveal the truth of Jewish suffering during the Holocaust. PTWF commends Professor Dajani for his important efforts to show the true history of the Holocaust, to counter an atmosphere of Holocaust denial and historical revision, aimed only to incite hatred.

Gary Krupp, Founder and President of PTWF, stated, "Throughout history, those with private agendas have distorted history to achieve their goals. The masses have been deceived by manipulating media in concert with these efforts. Media manipulation has been a necessary tool to inspire hatred, violence and war."

Professor Mohammed Dajani has inspired countless Palestinian students to achieve their legitimate aspirations by recognizing the virtues of the three faiths of Abraham.

Chairman of PTWF, Elliot Hershberg, said, "The precepts of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism demand justice through truth. Yet, some will attempt to revise history to justify provocative actions and statements. A solid foundation of truth from all sides is essential if peace in the Middle East is ever to be achieved."
