Yes, I've heard of it, and I'm not surprised there's nothing about it on CNN or NPR. The news isn't about educating people it's about entertaining them, at least that's what I think of it.
Shauk raises an interesting point, though I think it boils down to semantics. When someone calls on us to "Never Forget" I think they rarely mean it in the sense of never forget to hate. Rather, it's intention, imo, is to call attention to the dark aspects of human nature, and to imply that we can only overcome them through vigilance.
