What the fact-checkers found
The following chain letter has been distributed around the internet. The email’s claims are incorrect and it should not be forwarded onto other computer users.
Some versions of the chain letter have claimed that it is the University of Kentucky rather than the United Kingdom which has banned teaching of the holocaust.
The text of a typical email reads as follows:
Subject: FW: In Memoriam
Recently this week, UK removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it "offended" the Moslem population which claims it never occurred. This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.
It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russia peoples looking the other way!
Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be "a myth," it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets
This e-mail is intended to reach 40 million people worldwide!
Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world.

Please don't just delete it. It will only take you a minute to pass this
