What were your children taught about the Holocaust in school, and do you believe 6 million Jewish people were killed?

I saw this article linked on Facebook saying many Americans don’t believe 6 million Jewish people were killed in the Holocaust. Here’s the link.

I’ve heard experts say the number killed of Jews and other people, such as the disabled, and those who helped the Jews, might be higher than thought previously.

I wondered where these ideas of lower numbers are coming from?

What are our American public schools teaching about the Holocaust? What grade the Holocaust is taught, and how many weeks are spent on the topic?
