A man purporting to be a U.S. history teacher noted in a now-deleted TikTok video several of his Gen Z didn’t know who Adolph Hitler was and believed that disabilities advocate Helen Keller was a “Nazi.”
In addition, one student believed that “D-Day,” — the June 6, 1944, Allied invasion of Europe during World War II — was a rap artist.
At the start of the video, the teacher asked his middle-school students if they knew of Keller (above, in 1905), who lost her sight and hearing after suffering an illness at the age of 19 months.
“Helen Keller is the Nazi guy,” said one. “He’s like a terrorist.”
The stunned teacher said in response, “Helen Keller is a Nazi terrorist that is a male. Is that what you’re telling me right now? Are you thinking of Hitler?”
“Who’s Hitler?” asked another student.
Obviously taken aback, the teacher attempted to explain that Hitler rose to power as a dictator in Germany as head of the Nazi party who was responsible for starting World War II in Europe and exterminating more than 6 million Jews.
But before he could finish his explanation, another student interjected to say that Keller was a falsehood.
“Helen Keller was the blind and deaf person who was fake — she didn’t exist but everyone believes she was deaf and blind,” said the student.

History teacher stunned when students state Helen Keller conspiracy as truth, don’t know Hitler, video purportedly shows
U.S. students' test scores in history and other important subjects such as civics and geography have been declining for decades
