  Hi Adam,

  I usually check Snopes when I receive e-mails like the one you speak of -
  As it turns out, I searched "holocaust" and the story you heard is their top hit:

    Hi Adam and all
    A really useful website which will usually tell you the truth status of an email is http://www.truthorfiction.com/
    Sure enough, if you put "holocaust" into their search engine, the email Adam describes comes up labelled fiction.

      Dear Marcia and colleagues in the UK... is this true?
          I received an email that said, "Recently this week, the UK removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offended' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. "

         warmly, Adam
