The problem with videos like this is you have no idea just how many people she asked who knew the right answer.

I think she made that case very adequately, by including two or three students who knew the answers, and then stated that they had Holocaust instruction in their public schools in New Jersey, or had been taken to the Holocaust Museum in Washington on a field trip. She is trying to get Pennsylvania to adopt Holocaust/genocide instruction in public schools, and she went to Pennsylvania colleges to make the video -- UPenn, Penn State, and Temple U were identified by their logos in various scenes. Students who had not received genocide education did not know the answers.

The Holocaust used to be part of the middle school curriculum, 7th grade, here in NJ. Sometimes in 6th grade in the LA curriculum. The SS curriculum changed and I’m not sure it’s included anymore. It’s still in our high school curriculum but the middle school curriculum I’m not sure about as I don’t have kids there anymore and still trying to learn the common core curriculum for where I work. In NJ it really depended on the district.
