Bundesarchiv Bild<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The unfortunate reality is that there are some people out there who either deny that the Holocaust happened or deny some of the facts about the events. The Holocaust refers to the systemic mass killings organized by Germany\u2019s Nazi Party, led by Adolf Hitler, and their allies and collaborators, during the Second World War.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The BBC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/newsround\/16690175\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" staff-link\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">reports<\/a> that the main target of these killings was the Jewish population of Europe. The Nazis wiped out nearly 7 out of every 10 Jews living on the continent at the time. Six million Jewish people died in the Holocaust between 1941 and 1945.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Nazis also killed and persecuted members of other groups of people, including:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Roma and Sinti people<\/li>\n<li>Slavic people<\/li>\n<li>Disabled people<\/li>\n<li>Gay people<\/li>\n<li>Black people<\/li>\n<li>Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses<\/li>\n<li>Political opponents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These are facts that any history teacher worth their salt should know. Or, if they find that they have some serious gaps in their knowledge about World War II, they should be willing to admit that they\u2019ve made mistakes and then put in the effort to educate themselves properly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Holocaust Encyclopedia <a href=\"https:\/\/encyclopedia.ushmm.org\/content\/en\/article\/documenting-numbers-of-victims-of-the-holocaust-and-nazi-persecution\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" staff-link\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">states<\/a> that among non-Jewish groups persecuted and killed by the Nazi regime, its allies, and collaborators, around 3.3 million were Soviet prisoners of war, around 1.8 million were ethnic Poles, and between 250,000 and 500,000 were Romani.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Furthermore, the Nazis killed more than 310,000 Serb civilians. Among the victims were 250,000\u2013300,000 people with disabilities, including at least 10,000 children; tens of thousands of German political opponents; and around 35,000 Germans imprisoned for being \u201cprofessional criminals\u201d or \u201casocials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Others killed by the Nazi regime include around 1,700 Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses, thousands of gay and bisexual men, and hundreds of Black people in Germany.<\/p>\n<h3>In some countries, antisemitism is on the rise, compared to previous years<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Antisemitism is on the rise in parts of the West. The Guardian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/oct\/02\/british-jews-experience-more-antisemitism-as-middle-east-war-escalates\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" staff-link\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">reports<\/a> that there were 5,500 antisemitic incidents recorded in the United Kingdom between October 7, 2023, and September 30, 2024.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is 3 times more than a year earlier when the Community Security Trust recorded 1,830 incidents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, in the United States, the situation is similar. The BBC notes that reports of antisemitic incidents have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c9wkxv9d99vo\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" staff-link\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">reached<\/a> a record high.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Anti-Defamation League Center for Extremism found that more than 10,000 such incidents took place between October 7, 2023, and September 24, 2024. This is an increase of over 200%, compared to a year earlier.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Have you ever had issues with history teachers who couldn\u2019t get their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/biggest-go-to-hell-moments-history\/\" class=\" staff-link\">facts<\/a> right on sensitive subjects?
