Holocaust is not in Encyclopedias until sometime in the late 70s.
Like it didn't even exist
I was and am a history buff, but mostly watching documentaries, and mostly pre-American. Yeah, I'm wracking my brain trying to remember when I first heard about the Holocaust.
I read the Diary of Ann Frank as a teen. Then saw Schindler's List, A Thin Gray Line, and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, when those movies came out.
I have known a few Jews via work, but they were working class people and not up to anything.
A Co-Worker now is married to a Jewish writer, she writes for the Rabbi's... I didn't know until sometime afterwards. Weirdly he gave me weed and pot brownies quite a few times. Not sure what was up with that... I mentioned that no one hates the good jews more than the bad ones, and haven't bumped into him since. I work in security and both he and I fill in as needed at other than our regular sites for OT.
i grew up in the Anne Frank indoctrination phase. somewhere around that time, they started inserting the "hocaust" into Encyclopedias.
