While it is easy to condemn i remember only too well having to educate my own children on the second world war and all it entailed so i am not shocked that there is ignorance in the youth of today or a compete lack of understanding on their part how offensive they have been. Personally i blame the education system we have and while i am sure some schools do teach about that era in history my kids were educated on china 1923-1949.

They can tell you all about the kuomintang (however it is spelt) mao tse tung and the great march but know nothing about people like hitler or churchill. They covered the right time period but never touched on absolutely anything about the UK, europe or any of the events that happened in that time period closer to home. As so often with our youth the blame for their actions lies somewhere else and the complete failure of other people to properly educate them.
