Over 7 million Jews were systematically killed in industrially designed complexes over a period of 8 years in Europe. Their corpses were burned in ovens. The authorities believed this was justifiable. German children before matriculating now have to watch a video of the camps and trains and the ovens and the piles of corpses and the events leading to it. The Arizona Legislature has made it a requirement that our children learn about this terrible event. History can be uncomfortable. There is also a movement afoot in Arizona to make sure that our children are NOT taught the history of slavery or how children were sold as an agricultural commodity and how racism permeates our society. Our children are not to be taught about the genocide of Native Americans and the destruction of their society over the last two hundred years, of the massacres, the biological warfare used against them and the attempts to destroy their way of life in "re-education" schools. And please do not mention the Japanese-Americans put in internment camps just down the road during WW2. It is all far too uncomfortable. But then hypocrisy invariably is uncomfortable.
