The game is in Cincinnati. They did a piece on the Cincinnati train station. And the station had a recent exhibition about the Holocaust. Can you name anything else from the 40s that gets brought up as much?

Mine was a few decades ago and it was "around 5-6 million Jews and about that many of the cripples, gays, gypsies, etc." And we even spent some time on a "famous" cripple who was grabbed so it wasn't fully brushed aside. It seemed pretty to the point and unembellished, because the numbers were large enough to be meaningless beyond "big" and they didn't spend much time hammering home the grisly details.
Perhaps it was because it was the dirty South, but they spent far more time and emotional energy on Slavery/Civil War and the Indian wars/massacres. WW2 and the Holocaust was basically just given a pretty general note compared to even the Revolutionary War.
The only real notable time we ever spent was one teacher made us read Number the Stars and that was treated no different than any other book assignment. We never even had to do Anne Frank.
