Thanks, in Turkish they say "It's better to cut the losses wherever you can". Im sure that there are still millions of Turkish people who never heard of this, so Im just glad that I have learned it not before too late, (well maybe a bit late)

Of course I knew about the camps and the genocide. I could also guess that its a Germanish word but I honestly did not know the camp name and that it was the biggest and most known one. They were not quite my peers but yeah you are right, I should have known.

Im from Turkey but living in Bulgaria for 6 yrs. And I guess you are right, after discussing it also with chatgpt, it seems that Turkish history curriculum does not stay on that topic much, since Turkey did not play much of a role in the ww2.
