<< was this hushed up in america that much? Most know what Pearl Habor was
but none know the holocaust.. I'm baffled.. how can so many people not get
this?.>>

I am both puzzled and disturbed by your questions.

While my generation did not study the Holocaust in school, I do know my
children did. I was a child during WW2. I did know of the atrocities
through my family. It would be very difficult for most of us not to know of
both Pearl Harbor and the Holocasut, due to museums, lectures, television
programs, books and so on and on. There are college courses on the subject.

My family which is not Jewish lost family in the Holocaust.

What my grandchild who is in first grade will learn in school, I have no
idea.....what he will learn from other sources will be quite a bit.
