Not sure why it isn't taught in school, but even the worst people who ever lived on this planet did some good things every now and then.

23/24 years ago it was definitely taught to me in highschool...Modern history began by the teacher telling us how Hitler loved his dogs was vegetarian and other positives to the horrified class but the point was histories monsters are people like you and me. Not to justify his abhorrent actions but to help us to understand the next monster could be nextdoor. It was a great class and Fuck Nazis.
