At least she was from out of the country. I'm worried about the ones from Hearltand, America that haven't heard of it. Me thinks our government education system filters out certain things so it can teach about "Global Climate Change".
A week or two ago I was speaking to one of my nieces about the movie Valkyrie. She didn't know anything about it. I explained a little about the plot to liquidate the paper hanger, and she didn't know about that either. I was, "You know. World War II, the nazis, the Holocost................" Nope. It's all news to her. "You're kidding me !", says I. "No.", she replied, "We didn't have that yet."
Maybe it's the passage of time and generations removed but when I was growing up everyone knew about those things. An ugly chapter in the saga of mankind to be swept under the rug by politically correct soulless minions of orthodoxy? I hope not.
"There was no Holocost." "No one ever walked on the moon. It was all a hoax" "Mule muffins !!!!", I say to those people.
When my daughters were in their formative years I made damned sure that they watched the documentaries about the Holocost. They'd ask me why I wanted them to watch such things and I'd tell them, "Because the day will come when it will be your generation's job to make sure that it never happens again."
It pains me to see the young folks not being educated about such things. My youngest [now 23] knows that her birthday is two days before D-Day Invasion anniversary. They both know about Iwo Jima and Schindler's List and the Battle of the Bulge and Hiroshima.
