REALLY good Book + Saddening Fact

I know that this is really random, but I just finished reading a book that I absolutely LOVED. The book was titled "Things We Couldn't Say" and it was a book about Holocaust. The book was written by a Christian girl who was about 20 at the time of Holocaust. Her and her boyfriend both hid Jews for the entire occupation of Netherlands. One of the facts that I learned from the book was that the Netherlands was liberated on April 20. That date is also Hitler's birthday. Nice birthday present!! The book is really good, because it describes Holocaust from a different angle than a book such as "Anne Frank" The really saddening fact is that 6 million Jews died. The back of the book had a facts sheet, and one of the facts was that 22 percent of Americans DO NOT believe that holocaust ever happened. For me this is probably one of the worst things that I have ever heard in my 11 years of living. We need to know what has happened so that we will NEVER repeat it. Around 11 million people died because of what Hitler did. People died and others from my time don't believe Holocaust happened. It happened and we need to remember that.
