One and a half million people were killed at Auschwitz, not in the entire Holocaust.

The Auschwitz camp museum changed their plaque a few years ago from an estimated 4 million dead down to 1 and a half million. That means you need to deduct 2.5 million from the often touted "6 million" total, which would bring the revised total down to 3.5 million.
I dunno CCT, something tells me that school teachers are leaving this stuff out of their lesson plans. I hope I’m wrong about this.
It was never pushed when I goto school. Then again I remember seeing bits and pieces of Little Rock in fifth grade. I wouldn't say it was forced down us like this whole "whites are evil narrative " conservatives are trying to play is involved in every form of education.
I'm pretty sure that's not all they are not aware of. I wouldn't be surprised if these same people didn't know what happened on 9/11 and many other things. And it's not all millenials and Gen Z either.
They also proved in the past 4 months that they know NOTHING about the founding fathers and the constitution and grand narrative of the United States of America

Never have we lived in a time where information was so readily available at our fingertips within seconds, yet that doesn't seem to have helped ignorance.
Oh sheesh. I've asked young folks who were ranting on about current politics if they knew who we were fighting in WW2 and gotten answers you wouldn't believe. I've heard some good ones. One I heard a lot was they think WW2 was the Cuvil War. We were fighting to free the slaves.
Other good ones were the British, Saddam Hussein, even North Korea. Public school hasn't taught real history in decades. My own son was sent to the office multiple times in High School for "disrupting class" because he dared to argue with his English teacher who was talking about the Civil War.
His ENGLISH teacher. My son knows his history. After the third time this happened I got pretty mad. Had a frank discussion with the vice principal, a guy I went to school with, and put a stone cold stop to that bilge.
The only conflict my son was presented any curriculum on in HS was the Civil War. Touched on only briefly as the freeing of the slaves in the South.
He learned a LOT more from our reenactment time and our books at home. None of which included The Turner Diaries I might add. But we did have The Red Badge of Courage.
The Holocaust, the purges in the USSR under Stalin, in China under Mao, WW1 and 2, The Korean War, Vietnam, DS1 and going back the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 he learned from home. My Dad was a vet, WW2 (Japan occupation force) Korea (all three long years) and Vietnam.
Sheesh, a huge percentage of gen Z was raised by public school. Their parents were "to busy" to actually be involved ed with their kids. Though they posted lovey divey pics on social media touting how proud they were as parents. Time with their kids was a photo op, not actual raising. And now gen Z are having kids. That's scary.

Likely why his atrocities aren't publicized as those of others are.
