The lack of Holocaust awareness is a problem bigger than one person — and won’t be solved by one museum trip.
In a recent poll of young U.S. adults, 1 in 10 did not recall ever having heard the word "Holocaust.”

Agreed, but families will keep having to face news like this until leaders like you find the courage to stand up to the NRA — and support an assault weapons ban, universal background checks, red flag laws.
No parent, student, or teacher should have to wake up and face news about a school shooting. My heart aches for the victims of Perry, Iowa and the entire community.
