For the Russian members out there what aspects of the Holocaust did you learn about in school. Is it mainly a Jewish affair as it is seen in the West or do your schools incorporate the suffering of Eastern Euros into the subject. I have read articles that Russians have written about the Holocaust an how Russians seem to have been forgotten in the West, well something along those lines. Just curious on how the Russian school curriculum takes on the Holocaust or perhaps other events of the war such as the Genocides waged through Central Russia...

While I am Russian I did not have the privilege of attending school there, as I left to come to the United States at an early age. However, both of my parents went and both were no strangers to the holocaust nor D-Day.

There was of course far greater importance placed on the war effort in the east ( no surprise ).

I must also add at how surprised my parents were to find out that they were more familiar with the American effort during WW2 then their American colleagues were about the Russian effort during the war. As you can imagine my parents found this to be quite bizarre considering the fact that they were taught more about the the conflict in the west during the Iron Curtain then the Americans were taught about in the east in a democracy.....

I myself was taught virtually nothing about the war in the east when I went to school here.


All the best.

Russians learn more about the other side than what Americans do, interesting.

the russians probably wont get it anyway
