Summary/Abstract: I met a young Palestinian man called Yahya at the Ayn al-Hilweh refugee camp in South Lebanon. For Israel and the Lebanese authorities, this camp is a place of hiding for dozens of criminals and guerillas with blood on their hands. For the Palestinian refugees living here, the camp, which lacks infrastructure and offers no work opportunities, is one of the worst places to live. During our conversation, I spoke to Yahya about many things, the Holocaust. As with Israeli and Palestinian perceptions of the camp, ideas about the Holocaust differ greatly.
