Why are we taught about the Holocaust more than Stalin's regime?
I mean I am not saying that the Holocaust SHOULDN’T be taught about, but why don’t we also learn about Stalin’s regime in Russia, where at least 20,000,000 people were killed? I am talking about in middle and high schools. I do not know about colleges, not having started college yet.
I think it is because of a few reasons, the main ones being that most allied countries fought against the Nazi’s, but fought with Stalin. Therefore Stalin and Russia was a friend for a long time, and you don’t badmouth friends, especially when they have a short temper and a nuclear arsenal - that was never an issue with Nazi Germany.
This isn’t really an issue nowadays, with Soviet Russia no longer in existence and Russia for the most part being horrified at Stalin’s acts. But there are likely to be a few more reasons, mostly relating to the holocaust being forefront in many people’s minds after it was over - many allied soldiers would have seen the results of the Holocaust firsthand, but the same cannot be said for the results of Stalin’s regime. Nazi Germany picked on Jews, who wanted to be vocal about it after - Stalin picked on his own people, who wanted to keep it quiet after. So, I think the reason why it is not taught, or taught in depth is the sum total of all those, and also because not all of the facts are known for sure. I agree it should be taught however, but not everything that should be taught is - and then again, Japanese school children are taught about World War 2 as if it was Japan who were the victors, and that Pearl Harbor was a great victory.
I take danbob’s points, but also yours - I have wondered for a long time why we don’t learn more about Stalin. The less we know about how charismatic, paranoid, evil leaders can take over a country (not just once, like Hitler, but many, many times) the easier it will be for it to happen again somewhere.
sorry to say but japan may talk about how they won but if you go their your treated with respect my teacher went there and some people walked up to her and apologized for the deaths they caused in WW2 and also they have a memorial to remember more than 140,000 deaths caused by the atomic bomb and people are reminded even more because of the cases of cancer still being diagnosed even today. and as to Pearl Harbor being a victory think about from there point of view it WAS a victory but for there side just as the atomic bomb was a victory for us so think about the other persons side before you question them
