Its amusing how unprepared teachers were back in the 1970s. We were made to watch the movie Tootsie with Dustin Hoffman and I could hear some my prudish catholic school teachers gasp in shock when Hoffman appeared in drag

I think it was there version of opening our minds, instead it might have also opened the teachers minds.

Watching films of the actual Holocaust should be mandatory in a high school curriculum.
Yeah.
That is a great way to get beaten up at school, if you are part German.

in 1974, in the 8th grade our school made us watch a film about the holocaust that was quite graphic, we kids were dumbfounded and slack-jawed, a few laughed nervously, i think one cried. the teacher did not know what to say, she was just as unprepared as the rest of us, and this lack of preparation was harmful.
Dirty, filthy, stinking Germans!

German language is still triggering for many Poles - but this can at least have some justification in the past events.
However, it can get totally over the top. My friend's mother was bullied at school for... having a Polish last name refering to a region in Germany

Even against children who weren't born during that time?

Scratch the veneer of civilisation, and you find a primitive animal glaring at you.
"Lord of the Flies" stuff.

I totally separate “German” from “Nazi.”
The German people I have met are far away from the Nazi stereotypes.
We have to teach young people about the Truth of the Holocaust. And make sure to emphasize that the vast majority of the German people wouldn’t have embraced the Nazi genocidal ideology.
It should be remembered that a German woman gave the Beatle haircut to the Beatles.

So I was psychologically abused, as a 4 year old, for speaking German, for no good reason?
