Obama told them that the Holocaust was something about Polish death camps.

its still concerning no matter the sample size, what the heck are schools teaching? I never had kids but I always assumed WWII would at least be discussed at some point in a public school education.

Use Nolan as a judge to the knowledge of the average/100 IQ millennial. They're not teaching history, Vietnam was the war of their grandparents. WWII is outside their family impact and knowledge.

11% of adults too. That's pretty shocking, but I have my doubts about those numbers.

All millennials are legally adults, though I would concede that's a technical classification.
