Let's say a young adult today, early 40's, has never heard of the Holocaust: What do you think their reaction would be to movies like Schindler's List?

I actually know someone of that age who has never heard of the Holocaust. I said something about Auschwitz and she just looked at me blankly. When I said, “The Holocaust….” she shrugged and said, “Never heard of it.” When I tried to explain further, about the Nazis and the Jews, she said the same thing and that was the end of the discussion.

I want to sit down with her and watch Schindler’s List…but I have no idea what her reaction would be. This world today is so full of shit, and conspiracy theories and special effects that I don’t know that it would actually make an impression. She could simply dismiss it as fiction.
