Well given these stats:
Almost half the adult population in Britain (45 percent) claimed to have never heard of Auschwitz. Among women and people younger than 35 the figure was even higher at 60%, and even among those who have heard of Auschwitz, 70% felt they did not know a great deal about the subject.

And it's good to know Fergie chimed in with this:

Duchess of York: Leave Prince Harry alone
By JPOST.COM STAFF

While reactions from across the globe to Prince Harry's Nazi costume condemn his actions, Harry's aunt, the Duchess of York, came to his defense, saying he is "a very good man."

Speaking on BBC Radio 4 Today program, Duchess Sarah Ferguson said: "I want someone to stand up for him and say he is a very good man, and I'm that person. Because I know what it is like to have a very bad press and to be continually criticized. It is very tiring and it is very unpleasant.

"He is a young man, and he does a lot of good when he is following his mother's work with AIDS in Africa and he is a very good young man and I just think it is time that the press backed off and stopped criticizing him. They have been criticizing him now for months and months.

"Somebody needs to stand up and say 'Leave him alone, he is a very good man'. Both William and Harry are very good men. I think that their mother was very proud of them.

"I am speaking in support of a great young man who needs more support and less criticism. He has apologized and people have accepted his apology, and let's move on."
