So the postal service people put someone else's mail in my PO BOX. I opened one of the letters in my box w/o looking at the address and surprise, it was a $3000 social security check. I looked at the address and it turns out it was supposed to go into PO Box 417, not mine, which is 416. I don't know who Josephine Alvarez is, but she's very, very lucky my parents raised me right.
Chamilitary mayne!
Came back home, driving in the night, with this playing in my car hahah.

Same. I feel ripped off.
Also, not going to lie... I was pretty sure it said Vader vs. 1 million Jews when I came into the forum today...
I thought this, but I'm not taking a Holocaust class.
Seriously, why the hell would you take a class on just the Holocaust? I could see it being part of a greater history class on imperialism, intolerance and colonialism, etc. Or genocide in general, which has tons of groups to pick from:
... But why just THE Holocaust?

Because it's rather well documented unlike other genocides, has a special status in European history and is - given the industrialized destruction of human lives - still a "unique" event.
That aside: Most people would be hard pressed to give the name of somebody responsible for the genocide in Rwanda (for example), yet almost everybody knows Nazis like Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler and Mengele.

But that proves the point. If it's well documented, that's good, I agree. But it's also common knowledge (outside of the Middle East) what happened. So what's the exact purpose of studying just the Holocaust? That's like studying just the Honda Civic. I mean, what's my major? Honda Civics?
A history class which focuses on important, timeless human themes like genocide, imperialism, colonialism, and globalization would be a relevant one to enhance one's knowledge and critical thinking. A history class on just one aspect of these themes is likely to be too narrow. I mean, here I can save you a couple thousand dollars:
Saw Lion King...relived my childhood again. I absolutely love that film. That incredible music...Hans Zimmer at his finest.

Also, I was 12 when that came out.
