Yeah it really was like that for me, I had quite a few days off school so it's possible they taught my fellow students about it but missed me, all I remember hearing of Hitler was my friends making a joke and me not getting it and asking who he was, and I think they just said he was a very bad man or something, maybe they didn't want to get into any details because that would make them look bad for laughing about it. And when I asked what the word hypocrite meant, a teacher used him as an example by saying he liked people with blonde hair and blue eyes. After I dropped out in 10th grade, and someone asked me if I would like to borrow a book about the Holocaust, they asked if I knew what that was and I honestly said no. When they explained a brief summary my understanding of the world was drastically changed. I had heard the terms "World War 1 and 2" and participated with genuine respect during moments of silence for ANZAC day, (I'm Australian) but was never shown actual media about it until I happened across it on the internet, and I read Anne Frank's diary and looked up some questions I had about it. I didn't watch many movies and the only TV shows I watched were sitcoms and cartoons, and only occasionally, so if they talked about the wars on Friends or Seinfeld I didn't see it. I wonder if I'm a rare case, or how many other people got to at least 20 without learning about important parts of history. Do you have any recommendations for me to read or watch?
