|Text=For me, coming from a family affected by the Holocaust, there is no doubt that [[VMMC| mass circumcisions in Africa ]] will be seen to be of the worst cases of racism in the 21st century some day. They cultivate a racist stereotype that loyalty or condom use is not possible for African people, but a 'final solution' specifically for Africa is needed. So I have co-founded the VMMC Experience Project to give the affected parties a voice now. |Author=Max FixhFish
