I heard that schools in Germany have mandatory classes strictly dedicated to teaching German students about their horrific and tainted history of the 30's and 40's. Im not talking about 1-2 chapters in our history books like we study here in the US, I've heard that they have to take 2-3 full classes about this era which includes films, holocaust survivors, etc.
I've also heard that it's not only a crime to deny the Holocaust, it's a crime to do the Third Reich/Nazi salute.
Can anyone confirm or shed more light on this?
