"More than one-fifth of millennials in the U.S. -- 22 percent -- haven't heard of, or aren't sure if they've heard of, the Holocaust"...
 
This actually gives me a bit of perspective. Earlier this week at work, I was asked by supervisors  to hide a book I was reading during my breaks because some people took offense.
 

 
 
One must appreciate the irony. This book is a best-seller that sold millions of copies since it was first published in the 60's. It is as Anti-Nazi as it gets. As a matter of fact, the author was censored by the Nazis and had to flee Germany and the introduction to this edition was written by a well-known Jewish author...
 
But as they do nowadays, people simply reacted. They did not bother to inquire what the book was about, to look it up on Google or to even come up to me and to ask: WTH dude? 


Of course, by complying and hiding the book, I probably gave those idiots the impression that they were right, that this was a bad book and that I was some kind of nazi sympathizer. Considering that I've spent a lot of time studying with rabbis, teaching myself Hebrew and visiting the local synagogue in recent years, the irony is not lost on me...
 
Anyway -  that is what I get for spending time amongst the self-proclaimed most educated generation in history... 
 
 
 
 

Maybe they figured you were reading it to get perspective on how to do it over but 'right' this time. Stoopid pepul maek me mad.

What's sad is we are doing this right now with the Civil War. Tearing down the monuments that represented history and to never forget what the civil war was all about, but I guess they don't want a lesson in history....

This...
 
will not end well.

Soon it will be even more immediately troublesome of the things they don't know besides the pet litmus test of the Holocaust. It's going to be alarming if it's not already. Never has a generation been so purposely clueless. By the design of their education years of late. 

Sucks to hear this Rain! Don't feel bad about it. Just typical someone is going to be offended and it probably makes them feel good complaining. 

History will keep repeating. It's a hit song for goddsakes.  What kind of musicians are you.  When everything is sacred, nothing is sacred.

I remember reading this book in high school. It was very good, learned a lot. Another interesting book about that time period, computer technology and business is "IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation". Will make you look at punch cards in a whole new light.

To be honest, that's not the book I would choose to bring to my workplace and eat lunch with or whatever. 
 
You could always disguise the cover by inserting the book inside a protective Playboy magazine.

Should've picked a history of the Soviet Union with a whacking great hammer & sickle on the front. Higher victim count, but nobody would have minded.
