Belgium's national memorial to Jews murdered in the Holocaust in Brussels AFP A few months ago in Brussels, Arthur Langerman was telling high school pupils about losing family members in the Holocaust and escaping a Nazi raid himself, when he was cut short by two Muslim teens wanting to talk about Gaza. "It's a genocide, and it's been happening for 75 years," interjected one of the young women, triggering a heated back-and-forth about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
