Auschwitz-Birkenau, Dachau, Treblinka, Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald and Sobibor were the ones I was taught about.
Then again, I was in high school from '78 to '82 so that history was a lot more close and relevant. I actually knew kids whose parents had survived the camps.
Shit was hella real.
I was taught about all of these about twenty years after you, except for Sobibor. We did focus mostly on Auschwitz and Dachau. We learned about Auschwitz every year I was in elementary and middle school beginning in first or second grade. We still had survivors speaking at schools into the late '90s.
