being a history student you'll appreciate more than most that history isn't just "names and dates"
while we're on the subject of being offended about the holocaust. ive just finished a 20th century german war and revolution module taught by an eminent german historian and even he didn't do anything on the holocaust other than the racialisation of germany that allowed the holocaust to happen.
why did he not do the holocaust directly? in his own words: he doesn't like teaching i because it's too gruesome and alot of previous students couldn't stomach it.
there's not one muslim on my course and these are 3rd and 4th year uni students we're talking about that can't hack it, not schoolkids.
