In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory.

It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don't shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren't damaged; they're strengthened, matured, humbled. The U.S. needs to do same with slavery.

Not that complicated.

@unearth how hard did they have to fight to get it that way.
@LeaBug @unearth The irony is it were the allies who required the young democratic Germany to teach about the Holocaust.
@frumble @unearth we need our allies to step up and have a talk with President Biden. I'm not kidding.
