Half of American adults can't name a single Holocaust concentration camp.

When I was a kid, my church camp made our Black asses go to the God damn Holocaust Memorial every year

Our tour guide was forced to go to Auschwitz via Hungary, he's long gone, but I'm not teaching my kids that irrelevant shyt, they got stolen land and reparations

Why should I cry for them?

90% of American adults can't name a plantation.
I'm more concerned with that tbh.
Both Roswell and Valdosta (Georgia)are named after former plantations, start there.

the Roswell Plantation still around.

I didn't say you had to cry for them.
It's weird and sad that you wouldn't know basic history though.

A jew in Manhattan might not know the history of the Civil Rights movement but it would be really pathetic if he never heard of Malcolm X.

This isn’t American history. How many people in Germany or Poland can name a slave plantation or a notable black history figure not named MLK or Malcolm X?

It’s no secret Americans are the worst at geography and foreign affairs, but this ain’t it.
It actually is American history. American armies helped liberate many of these camps.
My goodness. A lot of this board really is uneducated.

How many people know that Stalin killed 6 million of his own people, or about Pol Pot killed 25% of the then Cambodian population? How about how China's "Great Leap Forward" is estimated in killing 30 million people. Do you know about any of the re-education camps in any of those circumstances?

There are also very recent Holocausts and Holocausts happening now. Example, how many Americans know about the camps Israel uses to hold Palastinians in place?

Israel set up facilities dedicated to torturing Palestinians: Rights group​



So why would there be any expectation that Americans know about Holocaust concentration camps, when most of us do not even know about the Holocausts happening right now. Why do they feel they are so special?
