Monday will be Holocaust Remembrance Day. Since words<\/em> fail me, 75 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, I’ll add up some numbers<\/em>. In no particular order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

40%<\/strong> – of German<\/a> students under age 14 do not know that Auschwitz was a death camp<\/p>\n\n\n\n

34%<\/strong> – of Germans between the ages of 18 and 34 say they know little about the Holocaust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

57%<\/strong> – of all French respondents and 69% of Millennials and Gen Z do not know that six million Jews were killed during the Holocaust. ( Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany<\/a> survey results.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

43% <\/strong>– of Americans know that Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany through a democratic political process. (More than half don’t, in other words<\/em>.) And a similar share (45%) know that approximately 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust. Nearly three-in-ten Americans say they are not sure how many Jews died during the Holocaust, while one-in-ten overestimate the death toll, and 15% say that 3 million or fewer Jews were killed. Numbers sourced from the study below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
