Pol Pot is #1 on a per capita basis- I wonder the percentage of people who have even heard of himAnd however many know about the Holocaust, I bet fewer know about the Stalin and Mao's purges. Hitler gets all the publicity but he was only #3 on Death Total Score.

Surprising, definitely not, but surely depressing.You could run a similar survey about any historic event and get the same results. Not surprising.

Young people waste their time on fluff and don't do anything that is intellectually challenging. Basically young people are lazy. I was talking with my 3 grandkids (grades 7 and 8) over the weekend. I told them that I read the 1200 page book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich when I was in the fifth grade. They told me that was was impossible and I was making it up. They spend all their time on social media and playing mindless computer games. Very sad.The widespread ignorance of history explains a lot about a number of things.
The camps were left standing so people wouldn’t be able to deny they existed.
It looks like the willful stupidity of people was underestimated.
Just another reason to attempt to have F2F schooling. If the current product is considered substandard, just imagine the COVID-19 altered education.

Or a "fascist".I'm not surprised at all. This is exactly why certain people are so quick to throw the word "Nazi" around when referring to the President. They don't actually know what a "Nazi" is.

We have both good and bad actions in our history- and both should be taught about and understood.An awful lot of kids today are taught how bad the US is. They ignore WWII and Korea and start with Vietnam. Then the Gulf Wars are sold as "dead American soldiers for oil". The only time the citizenry wakes up is when we are attacked (like Pearl Harbor and 9-11.

How did you Google this? Just curious. Great find."I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on
the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless
beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and
respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and
impatient of restraint."
--- Hesiod, Eighth Century B.C.

Hyperbole and gross exaggeration are the tools of the ignorant but do great damage to our society. Such emotional outbursts weaken the discussion when rational analysis would be the proper path to solutions to the problems.Yeah 6 Million thrown into ovens versus people who broke the law and were killed by a police officer in the line of duty. Granted some of the few killed should have the officer prosecuted but the leap you took? Not even remotely close.
What is your stance on officers killed in ambush style killings? Asking for a friend.
My guess is less than 1% if you excluded Asian Americans.Pol Pot is #1 on a per capita basis- I wonder the percentage of people who have even heard of him
A good friend of mine's, late father was an Osteopath in Williamsport, PA. When he graduated from college he ordered a human spine to display in his office. The spine arrived in a crate that was stamped 'Dachau' . How gruesome is that?I've been to Dachau and Bergen-Belsen in Germany as well as Yad Vashem in Israel.
In Europe they have what the Germans call "Stolpersteine" (tripping stones)--raised brass plates with names and other info that you can "trip over" as a remembrance of those lost.
Never forget.
I googled something like "what did the greek philosophers say about youth".How did you Google this? Just curious. Great find.
How many people remember the Turks genocidal attack on the Armenians barely a century ago? Few know about it, it barely gets mentioned, and yet it was the blueprint for Hitler's plans.
