I grew up in the Philippines knowing about the Bataan Death March.  Not details, but the fact that it happened and the general idea of it.  Now that I think about it, I didn&#x27;t learn it at school, I learned it because it was taught to me by my older brothers and sisters, and it was likely taught to them because this is how our grandfather died.<p>Looking back now, I realize it was never taught to me in school.  The only time I remember discussions about it was when I brought it up in a university discussion - after the teacher allowed us to research a topic of our own choosing and present on it.
