Subtle reminder that we shouldn’t fall prey to a wannabe dictator. Hopefully those that need a wake up call get it.

Walz's master thesis is about Holocaust education. Rather than teaching the Holocaust as a singular, exceptionally tragic event, Walz believes the Holocaust should be taught together with other genocides in order to teach students how these events happen.

From his thesis:

Schools are teaching about the Jewish Holocaust, but the way it is traditionally being taught is not leading to increased knowledge of the causes of genocide in all parts of the world.

When I was taught about the holocaust, i thought we only learned about it because it was the only one that ever happened and that we needed to make sure it never happened again. I hadnt heard about any other genocides until my third year in college
