Remember if you become a dictator and are a Socialist to not discriminate in any way other than IDEALS when it comes to rounding up and killing people via Democide.

More than one-fifth of millennials in the U.S. -- 22 percent -- haven't heard of, or aren't sure if they've heard of, the Holocaust, according to a study published Thursday, on Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day. The study, which was commissioned by The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany and conducted by Schoen Consulting, also found that 11 percent of U.S. adults overall haven't heard of the Holocaust or aren't sure if they did.
Additionally, 41 percent of millennials believe two million Jews or fewer were killed during the Holocaust, the study found. Six million Jews were killed in World War II by Nazi Germany and its accomplices.
Two-thirds of millennials could not identify in the survey what Auschwitz was.
"The survey found there are critical gaps both in awareness of basic facts as well as detailed knowledge of the Holocaust," said a news release on the findings.
A majority of American adults surveyed -- 70 percent -- agreed with a statement reading: "Fewer people seem to care about the Holocaust as much as they used to." And 58 percent of Americans believe that something like the Holocaust could happen again, the survey found.
The study on Holocaust awareness and knowledge in the U.S. was conducted between February 23 and 27 and involved 1,350 interviews with American adults 18 and older.
"This study underscores the importance of Holocaust education in our schools," Greg Schneider, executive vice president of the Claims Conference said in a statement. "There remain troubling gaps in Holocaust awareness while survivors are still with us; imagine when there are no longer survivors here to tell their stories."
Israelis stood still on Thursday for a nationwide moment of silence in remembrance of the Jewish victims, as a two-minute siren wailed across the country and the nation paid respects to those systematically killed. As every year on Holocaust Remembrance Day, buses and cars halted on streets and highways and Israelis stepped out of their vehicles, standing with heads bowed in solemn remembrance.
The somber day is also marked by ceremonies and memorials at schools and community centers. Restaurants and cafes in the ordinarily bustling streets of Tel Aviv shutter, and TV and radio stations play Holocaust-themed programs. Dignitaries laid wreaths at Yad Vashem, the national Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem.
A third of the world's Jews were murdered in the Holocaust. Israel was established afterward in 1948, and hundreds of thousands of survivors fled to the Jewish state.
I’ll bet 10 out of 10 know who Nat Turner was.
People who deny or are ignorant of the Holocaust generally do not support Israel. History has shown that without an informed citizenry, it is almost impossible to reach a rational common consensus.
“The Nazis left a wealth of documentation, that’s why the Jewish deaths are more prominent, we have the images and the documents behind it. The other atrocities were more hidden by their perpetrators.”
I think so, in part. The later killers learned from the hangings at Nuremberg to keep a low profile.
The Shoa was also (more or less) the first such atrocity to use modern mechanization and the tools of mass production, so it stands out.
Remember if you become a dictator and are a Socialist to not discriminate in any way other than IDEALS when it comes to rounding up and killing people via Democide.
You’d be surprised how many Jews don’t support Israel.
It goes back to before WWII, where the Jews in Europe, especially in Poland, were divided between Zionists, who wanted to establish a Jewish homeland, and the members of the Jewish Socialist Bund, who abhorred the idea, because they felt having all Jews move to Israel would detract from their goal of a worldwide socialist revolution.
Neither do the people who were alive back then including the ones who did the fighting.
[ I bet not 1 in 10 know that Soviet and Maoist Communists killed ~100 millions in the 20th Century, either.”
When I bring up that statistic with moronials, their autonomic reply is “what about the hundreds of millions killed by capitalists”. ]
Hmmm.... I don’t seem to remember Capitalists using state power to round up people and putting them into actual death camps...
The irony is that at the time of WWI, Poland was still divided between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia.
If you asked most of the Jews at the time, which part of Poland they would have preferred living in, most would have said the German part.
We all should know that history repeats itself.
The current and past generation of “educators” and liberals are ensuring that the next Holocaust will bring the dream come true of whoever the author of those Georgia Guidestones are.
History may not repeat, but it sure does rhyme.
I'm really sick of the way the true horrors of National Socialism and International Communism are minimized.
I have been interested in WW I since I was a small child and first learned about the sinking of the Lusitania, from my grandmother.
Is it a "complicated" war? No, not really, if you take it on step by step.
I suggest that you first read DREADNOUGHT, by Robert K. Massie. That book will give you the background needed for understand where the world was, before that stinking Nihilist Bosnian garbage, with the aid of "THE BLACK HAND" and Russian aid, assassinated the heir apparent, to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his Morganistic wife Sophie, in Sarajevo.
If you'd like to know HOW this war could have been avoided, send me a FRmail and I'll give you a few books to read, as well as some personal observations and explanations.
And you should also read PARIS,1919, by Margaret MacMillen !
Without WWI, but more importantly, without the horrible garbage that the Brits and French cooked up and pushed through, in Versailles, in 1919, there would NEVER have been WW II, nor probably any of the wars that took place throughout the rest of the 20th century.
WWI was a European dynastic squabble that morphed into an anti-aristocratic revolution and got completely out of control. Stupidity started it, and EVERYBODY lost. We (USA) should have stayed the hell out of it.
Why I say that as bad as Obama may have been, he’s got nothing on Woodrow Wilson.
That’s a defensible position.
“Hmmm.... I don’t seem to remember Capitalists using state power to round up people and putting them into actual death camps...”
I think he is referring to (their heroes) like apple running slave labor camps in china, or exxon personally killing baby seals, but not totally sure. Though they all seem to think crony capitalism is synonymous with capitalism for some reason
The millennials I've spoken with seem to be at a severe disadvantage when it comes to common knowledge and, especially, common sense.
I learned all about WW I, from my grandmother, who lived through that era, as an adult, long before I ever learned about it in school. She knew and even showed me some newspapers she had saved, from back then. I still have those newspapers.
There was a LOT of propaganda ( ABSOLUTELY LIES ! ), back then ; however,even IF they just regurgitated the lies/propaganda, they knew WHY they fought.
Yes, there was absolutely NO reason, none at all...NOT EVEN THE SINKING OF THE LUSITANIA, for us to be part of WW I !
