TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – Nearly two-thirds of United States residents under the age of 40 don’t 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.

A lot of young people actually think the Holocaust is what the Israeli’s perpetrated on the Palestinians.

No joke that.

The Jews and Hitler and WWII, are some of the issues that the left wants school kids not to learn about.

When liberals run things, a lot of other issues will also not be taught or will be twisted to the point that, it's no longer an issue.

The issue that most kids and liberal don't understand or know nothing about, is socialism vs capitalism/free-market system. It's why so many HS graduates and college graduates are so inclined to support socialism and liberalism and democrats, and even communism.

They had time to learn that there are 57 genders and they know how to put a condom on a cucumber. But there was no class time to learn some history.

I went to the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem last year. One of the first things you see is a quote on the wall that says “A country is not only what it does, it is also what it tolerates.” Think about that for a second. The left has claimed for decades that conservatives are intolerant and the enemy of a civilized society. In reality, conservatives have been TOO TOLERANT. Name a social issue (abortion, divorce, the sexual revolution, capital punishment, etc. etc. etc.) that has moved further right over the past 50-60 years. There’s not one. The right has ceded so much territory in the name of tolerance that we are on the verge of losing America. See my tag line. That is where I stand!!!

The sad thing is that the people in that video not only vote, but also reproduce.

I saw a documentary, about 40 years ago in which it was claimed the Germans wanted to ship all the Jews to Madagascar. Because they were unable to take Egypt and the Suez Canal they now had millions of Jews on their hands and then came up with the idea of mass murder.

True, but it was a rather half-baked plan. It was also clear that because of the White Paper the British would not allow any significant numbers of Jews to be settled in Palestine.

By January 1942 the Nazi regime had millions of Jews within its territory due to overrunning Eastern Europe and most of Eastern Russia and Ukraine. The purpose of the Wannsee Conference was to decide what to do with those Jews since deportation was not an option.

BTW, Adolf Eichmann was an attendee. The notion that he was just some kind of apparatchik carrying out orders was pure B.S. He made the decision and helped design the Final Solution.

The holocaust is covered in public schools. Very much so. But for multiple reasons, kids aren’t retaining much these days and widespread innumeracy means that one big number sounds as good as the next so even those who remember the event might guess something that is far away from six million.

Proof that beating people over the head non-stop for 80 years doesn’t work.

My friend is a Tutsi immigrant.
How many high schoolers have a clue even what that is, let alone what happened with the Hutus.

So the holocaust is not the only example of genocide. Where does it fit in with the others?

What the hell is this about? How is it possible that so many Americans are so clueless of history? This is crazy.

Two words...... Public Education!

There was no USSR until after the war when Roosevelt gave away Eastern Europe to Stalin. It was only Russia.

Utter failure of the K12 system, and if they went to college/uni, failure of upper education given most of them HAD TO TAKE a couple courses in world history.

I’m surprised of all the coverage Jewish Bolsheviks ‘naughtiness’ towards ethnic Russians and Poles during the post-revolution years gets. Sometimes I wonder if other countries had similar issues and it just wasn’t covered much in the media and film after film. /s

The USSR was founded in 1917, with the Bolshevik Revolution!!!!

The Bolsheviks murdered millions of Russians, and millions of people of other nationalities in the former Russian Empire. But mainly Russians!!!! And they destroyed their Russian Orthodox churches, and imprisoned millions of Orthodox priests and faithful.

So what we called “Russia”—even before the takeover of Eastern (or Central) European countries after 1945—was barely Russia at all!!

Now there IS a Russia—with a strong Russian Orthodox Church!! I hope that America can come to get along with Russia (Trump’s original plan) very soon!!!!

Well, there’s about a thousand movies, shows, and documentaries on Nazis. Can’t say I’ve seen too many on the others.
Every day you can watch something on History Channel or elsewhere on Nazis.
