I have to apologize for this being a kind of broad questions, but it's something I've always wondered about but have never heard.
What is your education like on the Holocaust/WWII era? I was trying to think of parallels for Americans, and all I really can think of is slavery and racism. Growing up in South Carolina, most of my teachers would tell us about their childhood during the Jim Crow era. They were quite young then, not really having a good idea of what was going on then. And the subject would come and go pretty quickly.
But how are you taught about that era? What central figures do you learn about (particularly those Germans who opposed the Nazis. Like Dietrich Bonhoeffer)?
Like I said, it's a broad question. But I'm really interested.
