It seems to me that a nation who helped eradicate the scourge of Nazism, who fought against Nazi Germany for two years alone, should have a fully functional education system regarding such an effort. Churchill after all, is one of the world’s most well-known, and well-documented, politicians.
This from The Independent:
Memories of more than 50,000 Holocaust survivors are being made available to British schoolchildren through a video project devised by Steven Spielberg.
The first schools-specific use of the Hollywood director’s 10-year project to record the testimonies of Holocaust survivors is being launched at Pimlico School in south London today – 60 years after the first Nazi war criminals were hanged.
This should be taught in history classes. Shouldn’t it?
When I was at school learning history, the furthest we got was the 19th century. I hope that now, at least, they have got as far as World War 2. It seems to me that Britain’s efforts during that particular period of history has affected the UK more now, than say, the civil war, or the agricultural revolution.
