No rant here, just clear demonstration of our terrifying ignorance and disconnection from our recent past:
Questioner: What was the Holocaust?
American College Student: Um…I’m on the spot.
Questioner: Which country was Adolf Hitler the leader of?
American College Student: I think it’s Amsterdam?
Questioner: What was Auschwitz?
American College Student: I don’t know.
.....
Watch it to the end. The woman makes her point, very well, and with no acrimony.
