And here I sit watching Schindler's List. Trying to explain to my Filipino wife that some people don't believe it happened and those same people would do it again.
She's quite familiar with the Japanese horrors of WWII (mom was Japanese.) She's learning about Nazis now.
She's learning about Nazis now?
Where do you two live?
(Better late than never, I suppose. Kudos to your wife for showing interest.)
She's Filipino. In most parts of Asia, the holocaust is just another minor part of history. As far as horrific and evil events go, it's up there but hardly unique. There's a lot more focus on what the Japanese did during WW2, since that's the action that had a lot more impact on Asians.
