The Holocaust generation who lived through the horror and those that fought in the war to end the atrocities are almost all gone. Will the memory of the greatest crime in history go with them? It seems incredible but a generational ignorance about the Holocaust is taking hold and threatens to make hollow the promise of our fathers and grandfathers never to allow such evil to exist ever again. The evidence is startling, appalling. A survey commissioned by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany discovered a radical deficiency in knowledge of the recent past by young Americans ages 18-39.

The young in this country don't know about the Holocaust....but they all know about White Priviledge, about Institutional Racism, about man made climate change....basically the whole progressive platform. The educational system needs to be purged of all progressives.

The US won WWII in a convincing fashion. So our educrat system needs to steer clear of the topic, including the horrors that occurred to civilians. I'm guessing even fewer know/understand about the Bataan Death March or the Battle of the Bulge.

The Rape of Nanking is worth mentioning as well.

No surprise here. I have posted before that a few years ago a young lady was in my office and she noticed a Civil War map on the wall. "How neat", she said "Did you fight in that war"? It was even more startling because we live in an area that saw lots of action. We have a Civil War cemetery and several battle sites. I told her that I wasn't quite old enough at the time.

The American Liberal Educational machine in America has its own agenda, and real unbiased education is not as high a priority for them as, say, indoctrination. "Students," if they had their druthers, would major in selfies, "tunes," social justice, PC, self esteem, climate change, ... in lock-step with their mentors' politics. Can ANYONE imagine ANY of them storming Omaha Beach? Storming Starbucks is more their speed. These (there ARE exceptions) are hollowed out individuals ... they are exactly what their mentors want them to become: sheep with iPhones and earbuds.

Most of our teachers probably also don’t know of the Holocaust, WW2, the civil or revolutionary war. Our educational system has been so dumbed down by the unions and teacher colleges that is is a miracle when-if a kid learns to read, much less write cursive. Now with the foolish masking schedules, it is even worse. Remember what happened to Ancient Rome. We are not far behind, Cuties.

I suspect they're even more ignorant of leftism's 20th century death toll of what, 100,000,000?
What possible reason could explain not teaching generations about mass exterminations?

To the Twitterati AKA Twits, history is yesterday's tweets. They will eventually elect socialists who will kill them.

The Holocaust has come to identify with Jews. Does anyone remember others who were captured and starved to death in concentration camps?

Uneducated and stupid. "Ya know", if you brought back the draft, they could see the world for free.

When I first started work, I met another employee who was a Holocsust survivor. He showed me his tattoo.
This is what the demonrat party wants for you - a tatto so you can be sent to a FEMA camp and an oven which I'm sure Piglousi is trying to find a way to fund them without mentioning the name oven.

The democrat Party has several thoughts on this shameful situation: 'What difference---at this point---does it make?' 'Some people did something' and 'People will do what they do' . It says everything about their lack of Human Decency.
