"Schools obsessed with Aussie history", not enough holocaust.

Educators in NSW have become so obsessed with Australian history that
students can pass through school without learning about the Holocaust,
the head of the education department has lamented.

NSW Education Department head Michael Coutts-Trotter said he learned a
month ago that the Holocaust had been omitted from the state's
mandatory history course, he said in a speech to high school
principals.

"You can get through compulsory schooling in NSW and never know that
the Holocaust, the destruction of Jews in Europe, actually happened,"
News Ltd quotes him saying

"You will know a lot about Don Bradman, and that's terrific. But I
think to live life, you need to know the Holocaust happened."
Professor of History and Politics at Wollongong University Gregory
Melleuish said the country had become too obsessed with Australian
history - to the detriment of an overall view of world events.

"We tend to look at thing like World War I and II as Australia's
involvement rather than what was at stake, why did it occur and what
was going on," he said.

"Part of the problem of doing it from the point of view of Australia
is students get the perspective that Australia saves the world."
