I guess I agree to disagree. As Israelis, the symbol seems obvious and like a symbol that anybody should know what it stands for. Sadly, the state of ignorance amongst the general population of teens/early twenties in America would surprise you. They would be able to shoot off Lady Gaga's biography and every performance like a programmed robot, but ask them anything about American history, let alone any other history (Holocaust) and they would give you a blank stare. History is not the first thing on most youngsters' minds, unless it is their favorite subject and I would not be surprised if the majority of American teens couldn't tell you what the "SS" symbol stands for.

Shabbat Shalom.
