I remember being taught in elementary school that between 250,000 and 500,000 Jews were killed during WW II. This is NYC public school mind you. Not some rural / based school system. A few years later they were teaching the 6,000,000 number. I asked my father what had changed and he said (paraphrasing) 'only the people in charge of the school system.'
