I learned about the Holocaust in 7th grade English class, of all places. I had an unusual English teacher who would use social events to teach us about journalism and critical thinking. We had to read Anne Frank's diary, and do research on the Holocaust and how it started, the Big Lie and all the rest.
I remember watching Band of Brothers a couple of years ago, and the reactions on the soldiers' faces when they liberated one of the concentration camps.
People like President Ahmadinijad (sp?) of Iran absolutely get me crazy when they deny that the Holocaust existed. Tell that to the survivors with tattoos on their forearms.
