    They should be told. They should be mandatory in every school in the country.

    I get disgusted when I hear someone say "I am tired of hearing about how Jews were persecuted". I don't care whether you are "tired" or not. You need to hear it. You need to understand it. You need to know that it has happened more than once and will happen again if people don't pay attention because they are "tired" of it. Whether the victims are Jews or Cambodian or Tutsi or Kosovar Albanian, or whoever is next on someone's list, if people don't listen to the the stories, don't see the victims of genocide and ethnic cleansing as real people, it will happen again and again and again.

    So, I don't care how "tired" you are of hearing it, you need to pull your head out of your ass and listen and learn.

    Apparently, you misunderstood my position. I can understand how you might do that. I am advocating that our history be taught, all of it. Including World War II. I also believe we should have 20th century, world history, ancient history, geography, science etc.

    No, I didn't misunderstand; I was being facetious. I agree with you.

    There are people that deny it. Soon there will be more so.
    Well I have never seen Schindler's List or read Schindler's Ark but I have heard that its a lot of nonsense - for example the list was not Schindler's - he was in jail when the list was made apparently - and there are other historical inaccuracies. I think this is why a lot of people find holocaust propaganda to be suspicious. Why lie? Its like how we find out that Anne Franks father wrote 'some' of her diary. For all we know he wrote the entire thing. They made one of my little sisters read it in school and she is no conspiracy theorist but she told me that she didn't think it was written by a young girl. This was before I found out that Franks father admits to writing 'some' of it. My sister is sharp. I have never read it.

    And in Australia they never stop reading about holocaust in schools. Anne Frank, Boy in Striped Pyjamas, The Librarian of Auschwitz. All nonsense as well no doubt.

    I honestly do not see a holocaust happening any time soon do you? Nobody wants to hear about the holocaust - its sick.

    Here's what I want told -- the truth in judeo-christian history of recurring expulsions and genocides. Jews troublesome history of migrations appears to be a given, and definitely a taboo subject that is discouraged.

    Why?
