We had to read The Diary of Anne Frank when I went to school (don't ask how long ago).
It's a shame kids don't know these things any more.
I had to travel one time by car from Frankfurt up to the north shore of Germany, Wilhelmshaven, and so I detoured over to the Bergen/Belsen Memorial, which as you know, is where Anne Franks body, (among many others) was found. When I went to school (don't ask how long ago) we also were taught about the holocaust, but I would be hard pressed to find the words to properly describe the riveting, sobering, emotional experience of walking on those grounds, complete with some of the old train cars that brought the people there, and being reminded what happened there. We all hear the phrase every November 11, "Lest We Forget". I know I won't.
