Apparently some people are foolish enough to deny that the Holocaust happened and they try to promote their bogus ideas. According to Snopes, it is some teachers, not the government that tried to sanitize the school curriculum.

The bottom line is that the Holocaust really did happen.

Do I understand this correctly, the story about removing the Holocaust from curriculum is “fiction”, because, though it has indeed been removed, there is no govenmental program for its removl? Whoooooops!

More than that, by advising the World of the removal of the teaching of the Holocaust from curriculum is really a plot (by whom??) to “trick Christians”? Really, “again”?

The United Kingdom Has Removed Teaching About The Holocaust From Public Schools-

FICTION

Summary of the eRumor:
The email says that the UK has “removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum

The Truth:
There has not been any governmental decision to eliminate teaching about the holocaust from schools in the UK.

This email may have been prompted by a government-funded study by the Historical Association in the UK. It found that some teachers who have multi-cultural classes have avoided teaching about controversial historical topics such as The Holocaust. The report cited several examples of schools that backed away from teaching about The Holocaust, The Crusades, and slavery. “In particular settings, teachers of history are unwilling to challenge highly contentious or charged versions of history in which pupils are steeped at home, in their community, or in a place of worship,” the report said.

This is an evil “plant”. One school, not the entire UK stopped teaching the Holocaust. Someone is trying to trick the Christians again. (It was in my inbox also.) Google “UK removed The Holocaust” to read more.

I have seen in recent years, this rather horrifying trend to ignore the Holocaust and all the death that occurred at the hands of Hitler. I have even seen some blogs try to portray Hitler as a hero! I don’t know how anyone can believe this other than to just engage in the severest form of denial. My father fought in this war and it haunted him all his days. I know he hoped the world would never forget. I am glad he cannot see this attempt to sweep the whole thing under the historical carpet and pretend in never happened.

Yes, the Holocaust really did happen ! I wasn’t there of course, but I was in Germany and visited one of the camps. I have also seen many old people walking around with the tattoos from the camps still on them. So, if someone tells you it didn’t happen, don’t you believe it !
