even if it had graphic depictions of Holocaust, whats the problem? children are supposed to learn history, even gruesome parts of it.

high school history textbooks in the U.S. show photos of Holocaust, right?

Textbooks in the US tend to be pretty bad. But I assume most books they still have photos but the right-wing is creating tsunamis of shit. It's hard to keep track of everything they are up to.

I think their attacks on Holocaust-related material is them testing the fences like the velociraptors in Jurassic Park. If they can succeed in banning Holocaust-related material - they can have the confidence to try to ban anything.
