Absolutely! I lived in Germany. I toured some of the death camps, and while I did, I witness groups of very young German school children touring them too.

What remains of the camps is horrifying. They've been turned into museums of horror, into object lessons of German culpability. And every German school child visits them, usually more than once. Every German school child learns about the Holocaust in quite nauseating detail.

When I Iived in Germany, my friend's 14-year-old brother showed me his history textbook and the class assignment he was working on.

I was startled by the level of explicit, violent detail he was learning about the Nazi years, about the level of detail regarding ordinary Germans' complicity.

He was just starting high school, and he was learning more than I learned in a U.S. university history class.

If the Germans can do this, so can we. And we must.
