My heart skipped a beat when I saw that genocide was back on the German curriculum, but don't worry: they're just teaching about it, and reversing an [1] earlier decision, under Turkish pressure, to drop this teaching. From [2] DPA, with thanks to Cathy J. Palmer:
BERLIN - Defusing a row after alleged Turkish pressure forced removal of the Armenian genocide from German public school curriculums, a state premier said on Tuesday the 1915 killings of up to 1.5 million Armenians would be again be taught in history classes.Brandenburg's Prime Minister Matthias Platzeck admitted it had been a mistake to remove all mention of the genocide from his state's education ministry website curriculum planner.
The Armenian genocide - which had been used as the only example in history classes other than the Holocaust - will now be returned to high schools along with other cases of 20th century genocide, he said.
