Can we move on?? The religiosity built up around this historical event has become extremely tiresome. We get it!

No, definitely not. We don’t inflict torture on 12 year olds and we fought a global war so that they wouldn’t have to experience those things at 12 years old.

If you silence history you are doomed to repeat it.

If you are at the point where you have an issue with “Night,” you have officially lost a chunk of your humanity.

I agree. I would add, though, that there is a difference between teaching history and making children feel responsible for it. Of course they can handle difficult subjects, but I’m not sure they can handle feeling shame and blame for them. The teacher matters.

Now, now, reading that book might distract too much from gun club.
