TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) Nearly two-thirds of United States residents under the age of 40 dont know that 6 million Jewish people were killed in the Holocaust, a new survey found.
In one of the most comprehensive studies of American understanding of the Holocaust, some of the most important details of the genocide were lost among young adults in the United States.
“How is it possible that so many Americans are so clueless of history?”

Government schools with leftist teachers.
>>What the hell is this about? How is it possible that so many Americans are so clueless of history? This is crazy.<<
60% bad teachers and curricula, 40% antisemitism, 100% lefty control of education.
I’m now reading O’reilly’s “Killing the SS”. If these people know they wouldn’t care. 6 million Jews. How many others? I’m talking about dissidents, homosexuals and mental patients.
Kids should be taught that today, and that 7 milion others died, not to mention the casualties of the War.
I was taught that the U.S.S.R. was with the Allies, when they were with the Axis before June 1941.
6 million Jews, 8 million others. The Japanese killed over 10 million Chinese including nearly 4-6 million civilians. Stalins regime killed 20 million people. Maos Great Leap Forward killed close to 50 million Chinese.
Reagan said that we’re only one generation away from losing our Republic if we don’t fight for it.
FWIW as far as topics go people are generally highly aware of the Holocaust and nazis if only through a vague knowledge that they were bad and thus can be applied as a label to opponents rather than actual historical details. At least compared to other things. Like for example Communist atrocities.
That’s what occured to me. How many know of all the various mass murders? How about the Armenian genocide? I only knew about it as a kid because of the Armenian people who tried to have it recognized, in school there was nothing about it.

For some time now, it has been the goal of our educational system to dumb kids down (to prepare them for Marxism)...not to educate them.
This is what happeneds when no one is guarding the chicken coop. Parents drop thier kids off and pick them up.

More likely Saudi money and the lefts love of Palestinians and Muslims and its hatred of Israelis and Jews. Gonna get worse. BLM has shown itself to be anti-Jewish already.

Yes.
Every young adult should visit the holocaust museum in D.C. at least once.
I believe it also spurred the creation of a number of Holocaust remembrance museums around the US. I thought that school children were taken on at least one field trip to a Holocaust museum near them. I guess that got squeezed out by "more important" topics.
