the accounts of british history taught in england, scotland and northern ireland are completely different because of national sensitivities for example so as much as the tories at the mail would like to perpetuate the idea that it's just those evil brown folk who get preferential treatment, we all have experienced the same thing in high school.
btw 6 million is a fairly accurate number for holocaust victims.

I've heard the Holocaust described as one of the defining periods (events? Occurences? I'm not really sure what's the appropriate word) of the modern era, so it's probably something that people need to be taught at some point
As an aside point, try saying "anti-Semitic sentiment" when you're drunk, I don't reckon it could be done
