I agree with you, but as an aside, did you know that until the recent spate of
Holocaust movies (and possibly even after them) an unbelievably large
percentage of high-school students never knew that the Holocaust happened?
(Sorry, I've forgotten the numbers.)

BTW, I use "Holocaust" here to refer to all 9 million who were killed.  Though
I am Jewish, I feel the current trend toward emphasizing the "6 million" is an
insult to the other 3 million who were equally persecuted, tortured, and
killed.
