You makes some really good points here. I think you are maintaining that the holocaust needs to be taught, so that’s nice, but yeah, I agree with you that maybe it gets a little too much spotlight, aside from some other things that need to be taught too.
You had me worried with this title, but I actually more or less agree with you here. Often times people can hide behind anti-semitism to excuse horrible actions, like what is happening now in Gaza.
The real problem is that there just isn’t enough time in school curriculums to teach everything necessary. For the record, I was taught about the other killed in the holocaust along with the Jews, but that was it.
It’s a really sad truth that history is treated just like any other subject, because it is important to learn about our past mistakes, so we don’t make them again.
This is a major problem with our American educational system, and there is really no apparent solution, at least to me.
