I guess those kids called it.
I wish. Unless parents proactively do anything, children will not be aware of anything. Yes, the general concept of “Nazi = bad” is known to most children but I’d wager that’s pretty much it. For instance, there’s not a single memorial in the towns I went to school in about WW2 that I know of.
Unfortunately, you’re also severely exaggerating the “Never forget” attitude, seeing as millions support the “The Holocaust is nothing but a minor stain on German history”-party.
