Fact is, we were not taught about the Holocaust in the fifties and sixties. For some reason, they didn't think we needed to know. I know when the a TV movie about the Holocaust ran in the late 60's, my mother said "Why can't just forget about it."
Needless to say I have always remembered the movie, because it was the first that I really understood what happened.
Where did you go to school?
I was taught about the Holocaust at a Catholic Prep school in Massachusetts in the 60’s.
