Question: Do you think enough people are educated well enough about the Nazis!?
people seem to either not know anything about the Nazis, or thy are vastly mislead about the Nazis!. (especially the younger generations)

schools don't seem to be teaching enough about the Nazis (if anything at all)!. Isn't it an important part of History that people should know about!?

I'm not sure what country you are in but as a general rule of thumb from what I can tell all that is taught of Nazism is their anti-Semitism!. I'd say there are very few people who could talk about Nazi economic policies etc!. I think a more well rounded approach is necessary in order to show why they were elected into power etc!.

What the nazis did was atrocious but they need to teach about other elements and also bring up the fact that many German people didn't support them and many soldiers didn't want to carry out the orders they were given!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. If people were actually educated well on the Nazis and Holocaust in general, then maybe there would hardly be any skinheads/neo-nazis or even holocaust deniers (how anyone could deny this horrible event is beyond me)!. I'm into history so I watch a lot of the history channel documentaries as well as read a lot about it!. People think about the nazis in this term: it was either Black and white: There was the good guys and then there was the bad guys!. When you read furthermore into the Nazi regime, you start to realize it wasn't always like that!. Some, unbelievably, didn't know about the horrible crimes against the Jews that were happening!. Even a lot of the German people didn't know what the Nazi or SS men were doing!. Even some SS men I read about were sicken by what they had to do!.

Plus people don't understand how a party like the Nazi's came to power!. They assume Germans were automatically racist!. Which isn't true!. During that time, Germany was going through a crappy time and then this charismatic leader helps Germany and builds up their pride!. When their mouths were empty, he provided food!. Of course they would blindly follow him!.

What I find idiotic is when you have little **** neo-nazis who don't know their history!. Especially the Russians!. People, he wanted to make you SLAVES to Germans!. If you even passed his screwed-up view of race, he wanted to absorb you into the German culture!. That is not nationalism!. Both Hitler and Stalin are probably rolling in their graves!. I just don't get people who say their nationalistic and use Hitler as someone to look up to!. He basically wanted to eliminate different cultures and turn everyone German!.Www@QuestionHome@Com



You speak like somebody who probably thinks he knows very much about this as opposed to ignorants - Nazi is a word contracted from National-Socialist - full stop

If you are so preoccupied by the memory, don't try to propagate, as eg jews do, a sausage-sliced conception of history -

It would be so much better to spread a knowledge of the contemporary western countries history - the reasons why fascism took a peculiar development in Germany, then how the Holocaust was organized with camps in Germany but mainly in Poland -

Then genocides could be studied in the same way as Holocaust -

You cannot, as it seems you do, complain about the misery of History, and at the same time require that the part of history which you consider as yours be taught, while ignoring other parts - your attitude is typical and non respectable!. People like you quietly ignore their own guilt or responsibility in contemporary events -

The Nazi issue of the Holocaust has been the main focus by certain groups!. Everyone seems to forget the slaughter of 12 million Chinese peasants by the Japanese or 21 million Russian peasants massacred in the second world war!. Most of the movie themes and books highlight the holocaust, why!? Another issue is the fact that the positives or what was learned by the events of Nazism has been mostly overlooked!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Considering the way the term NAZI and fascist get thrown around all the time, I'd say no!.
Yes, it's extremely important, as is Stalin and Communisim- We seem to be heading down that road right now, and people want to do it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you are talking about the holocaust, then yes, people are sadly misimformed and under-educated about this event!. It is a very crucial part of history that forms sets of guidelines for our society!. It should be taught more in school!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is an important part of world history because as long as there are Holocaust deniers and revisionist historians who doubt the Holocaust the ramifications and the truth of it it will continue to be ignored!.

I have always thought there has been a lot more important events through history!. I think there is an over-preoccupation about them, I do think enough, if not too much is taught, although I am British so it may be different in America!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, it's not taught well enough - Probably why we have so many kids becoming skinheads, or getting involved in white supremacy groups - and little is mentioned of the long-term impact of wwii!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Schools don't seem to be teaching enough about history in general but you're right, too many younger kids no little or nothing about the Nazis!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing!.
If we don't learn from history then we risk repeating it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

people are not taught about the Nazis true beliefs!. What schools teach in schools is completely biasedWww@QuestionHome@Com
