The Holocaust not taught in History class, April 6, 2000
This review is from: The Dispossessed: Cultural Genocide of the Mixed-Blood Utes an Advocate's Chronicle (Hardcover)
This book is a Marvel! It taught me about the things that are not taught to us in History class. The Native American Holocaust (The American Holocaust) has never even been mentioned in any of my classes. The fact that Columbus really was no hero and that he really did NOT find America. The Spanish came here to get away from the disease and famine of Spain and ended up spreading disease and misery to the Native Americans when they came. They killed off millions and millions of people who in some ways were more civilized than the Spanish were when they came over. I may only be 17 but I think that not teaching and educating children that Columbus was a hero after reading this book for a term paper subject that I picked, my eyes were opened to the fact that we celebrate a man that created the Holocaust even before World War 2
