Considering my family lived through WWII in the thick of it and later came to America, and this is not a unique occurrence, to say “Americans don’t know” is just wrong.

I think by "Americans" he means "the upper middle class Nth (N>=4 or so) generation Americans that dominate political discourse the 364 days of the year that aren't election day"

'“Americans don’t know” is just wrong.'

Not so much. Sounds to me that, if you consider your family american, by your description they sound more like "european immigrants with the paperwork done".
