That is so true!  I learned tons of stuff about WWII in school, but 
didnt learn until I was in college that the U.S. had put Japanese-
American citizens in concentration camps during the war, because no 
one ever talked about it.

To get this back to HP, another part of the reason that Voldemorts 
history is not discussed IMHO is because the British Wizarding Worlds 
nominal leader, Cornelius Fudge, is in total denial about the 
possibility of his return.  As some one who works in the 
environmental field, it kind of reminds me of the attitudes of many 
of our leaders towards environmental problems like global warming.  
Oh no, that wont happen, or if it does we can handle it, no need to 
prepare for it or worry about it, those people who say its a problem 
are just doom and gloomers, dont worry, be happy, make money.....
