    Nearly half of young Americans can’t name a single Holocaust site

    It is not “antisemitic”. That’s ok to not knowing details of some shit happened a century ago on the other side of the planet. I also don’t know anything about whatever might happened in Southern America.

      Considering how fond USA has become of the nazis recently (again), I think you’re wrong. It’s absolutely important to get history consistently hammered into your skull, or some dipshit is going to abuse the ignorance of the people.

      And to add, it’s not like it’s really that distant history. My grandfather fled the nazis when his brothers were sent to a work camp.

          I’m not sure where you’re getting that it’s supposedly antisemitic to not know the names. The article talks about the rise of antisemitism being because of a lack of understanding about history, and points out the lack of education about it, by people not even knowing a single concentration camp.
