Do they teach anything anymore? Something more scary. In 2011, a random sample of US citizens were asked to take the citizenship test given to all immigrants that apply for citizenship. 63% of the current citizens did not know the number of Justices on the US Supreme Court. It is bad enough to not know what Auschwitz is. It is far worse to not know basic US Civics and Government! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there is no shortage of programs that talk about this, sometimes to the exclusion of other histories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxchoboian Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 I wonder how many Americans know what WWII Nazi concentration/work/death camps were? I bet more than 41%. Knowing them by name is not as important as knowing what they were. How many know of Dachau or Badenhofbrau or Treblinka? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most sad and depressing books and yet at the same time it was one of the most powerful books on the strength and spirit of humanity. I agree with your point though. More important to know it happened than the names of the towns where it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much left of Treblinka as the Nazi blew it up to cover their crimes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will march on regardless.... And the lesson of Auschwitz is not one of being a Jew (or even nazi)....It is the destruction and results caused, when such tactics are employed...That should be learned...

Thank goodness no one said they knew of Badenhofbrau, because I made that one up. Trying to make a point.

I am sure it is but it's not talked about at kitchen tables any longer, documentaries are less frequent, the people that lived it are mostly gone it's just what happens it will always be a part of history but let me ask you, do you know of any of the genocides in history but this one? Should I be outraged you don't? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
