I can’t imagine forgetting that phrase from school over 2 decades ago. I get people not knowing lots of the details, but missing that, work will set you free… etc etc. That’s really bad.
Keep in mind English might not be someone’s first language. They might have learned the phrase in school in their language, or even the German original, but not whatever is the accepted English translation.
It’s simliar to how an old artist’s music being played on a pop station is a leading indicator that artist is going to put out a new album. The intended end users of the Nazi Germany phrases may not know/care what they’re saying, but the people seeding it into the media are literally just following the playbook for what worked last time.
My bingo card has a spot on it for seeing unironic back-to-back commericials for gold sellers (who didn’t get the memo) and reminders that the US has nationalized all its gold (again).

Or she didn’t learn that specific phrase. I don’t recall ever hearing it in school.
