>>i had to google janus korzak.. Dr. Peter Black, chief historian for the Holocaust Museum in Washington, told us during a class on the history of the Nazi party, that after WWII, the Russians taught students much more about the evils that the Nazis did than we learned in the West, probably due to having become allied with West Germany and so not wanting to keep old wounds open. In the West, it's very rare to see anything about the Holocaust which wasn't initiated by Jews who have some kind of personal connection, e.g., Elie Weisel, Steven Spielberg, the people who did "Shoah." In Russia and former Soviet Union, they aren't so interested in the fate of the Jews, probably because anti-Semitism remains endemic.
