I was born before WWII and can't remember the NAZI's as I was too young, and though Dad was fighting the Japanese in the Pacific, I had no knowledge of that either.
My knowledge of WWII, the NAZI's and the Holocaust started with in the 1950's I read Time Life books and read Five Chimney's The library is where I learned about the War, the NAZI's and the Holocaust.

I watched "Victory at Sea" and "Twentieth Century" with my father, a Navy veteran and tool and die maker. I read library books about the war in the Pacific in the fifth and sixth grade. I had tears while watching the D-Day Memorial this morning.
My father was the adjutant, and a Warrant officer, of the 1st Joint Assault Signal Company, 4th Marine Division, 5th Amphibious corp, during the re taking of Roi Namur, Saipan and Tinian. He caught a Chicom 61 MM between the legs at the Hwanchon Dam, after surviving he Chosin reservoir.
I did my time in Vietnam and don't watch memorials. I don't need reminders, but the general public does.
