The Holocaust Goes Down the Memory Hole

 

Nearly two-thirds of young adults are woefully ignorant about this monstrous crime.

[This evil must not be allowed to continue. We must remove all of the vile leftists from our education system.]

Somewhere, David Irving is probably smiling. Irving, the British author, historian, and noted Holocaust denier, has no doubt seen the news that nearly two-thirds of young American adults don’t know that six million Jews were murdered by the Nazis in World War II, and about half of them couldn’t name a single concentration camp — not even the Auschwitz of Arbeit Macht Frei infamy.

As Jon Brown reports, “In the first-ever survey of young people between 18 and 39 in all 50 states about the topic, the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany discovered that nearly two-thirds of those polled did not know that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust. Nearly half could not name a single concentration camp or ghetto. Almost a quarter either did not believe the Holocaust happened, that it was exaggerated, or were unsure.”

The survey points to the profound historical ignorance of far too many Millennial and Generation Z adults, but clearly the more scathing indictment is saved for the adults in charge of our educational system — adults who are either woefully inept or willfully blind. What on earth are they teaching our children? Or are only certain politically correct genocides — such as those of black Americans or Native Americans — worthy of classroom discussion these days?
