A friend of my step-daughters when she was in jr. high school was  unfamiliar 
with the word Holocaust.  My husband was dining with their  family and was 
asked about his religion.  He said he was a Jew.  The  child said, "I thought 
we 
killed all of you".

I was telling an anecdote about Winston Churchill  to a friend who is in her 
20s. She said 
"Winson who?"

She had heard  the name, vaguely, but didn't know who he had ever  been.
