I was in 5th grade when my dad told me about the Nuremberg trials and the subsequent Milgram experiments.

Edit Wtf you sick perverts, I was talking about when your parents talk to you about authority bias and how you need to be suspicious of power structures that tell you to do things that you would normally consider horrible acts.

Jesus you can’t talk about Nazis without someone dragging out Sex Ed these days smh

    Figured it out on my own somehow pretty early… being a Jew in the 80s, people still remembered and it mattered. You knew people with numbers on their arms.

    My son has understood since 1st grade. He watched X-Men 97 and jumped up saying the fascists attacking mutants were like Nazis and the Holocaust.

    We talk about our family military history on both sides of the family, and their roles in WW2. I’m very proud to be an American taught to abhor injustice, and see it in my son’s nature.
