I have always wondered...

My big question for you Europeans/Asians out there is this...

How do Germany and Japan teach World War 2 in their schools? How does Germany handle the Holocaust? Do they tell the whole truth? Do they leave some details out because of what happened?

I started thinking one day how this was done. Germany doesn't allow Swastikas or SS Runes....Japan...well...they were so stubborn, I'd like to just know how they handle that part of their history.

If you are European/Asian, I'd like to know how they teach the kids/young people of your country about the war.

I am sorry if this offends you in any way at all. I'm just curious.

Lumping the whole of Asia in with Japan seems a bit much. Almost racist, one might say.

I'm from neither country but my belief or understanding is that Germany doesn't go into a great deal of detail and Japan believes it was everyones duty to fight for and protect the Emperor.

I'd be really interested in a detailed response from said nationals myself.

Hey...USA 2 Time World War Champs....

I don't think I even want to know what "we" teach our kids about our history. I think they probably paint us as racist evildoers. I really hate applying our "PC" current attitudes to history or even to old people for that matter.

That's sad. To think one country alone won either of those wars.
