In school you go through WWII so many times, until you don't want to hear about it again. So, I would rather say "ax the third repetition and instead teach the kids something else, e.g. I don't remember that we learned anything about Africa besides colianalism and slavery". Another topic, that has been neglected are the Vertriebenen, people like my grandparents who have been driven away from their homes by the winners of WWII. My grandparents were 12 and 15 when the war ended and lived in different villages in the East, one in Mären and one Böhmen. Right now, they are visiting the Czech Republic because they still miss their "Zuhause" (they always call it home when they speak about those two villages). I think that topic comes up too often.
