General Discussion

I lived in Germany for 4.5 years and I took two college level classes on Nazi Germany. The nazis both fascinate me and horrify me and I can’t seem to get enough information on the subject. I’ve been to 3 different concentration camps and countless museums and other pints of interest around Europe. My college professor was able to arrange for us to meet a camp survivor and he shared with us in vivid detail his experience. Even at 90 years old and roughly 55-60 years later, the man broke down in tears when he discussed what he went through.

I will say that the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC is first rate. You’d be hard pressed to find a better presentation on the subject anywhere else in the world. I visited it when it first opened about 20 years ago.

As an aside, my two daughters are 12 and 14 and they have read several books and discussed the holocaust a fair amount at school. Overall, I’m pleased with how the subject is being presented to them. For what it’s worth, they attend a public school in Ohio.
