"The results are both shocking and saddening and they underscore why we must act now while Holocaust survivors are still with us to voice their stories," said Gideon Taylor, president of Claims Conference.
When asked how many Jews were killed during the Holocaust, 63 percent of those taking part in the survey said theyWhen broken down by state, the report found that 69 percent of people in Arkansas do not know how many Jewish people died in the Holocaust, followed by Delaware with 68 percent, Arizona with 67 percent, and Mississippi and Tennessee with 66 percent.and Gen Z in the U.S. said they thought that two million or fewer Jews were murdered.
Based on the percentages of responses, Wisconsin scored the highest in Holocaust awareness, followed by Minnesota, Massachusetts, Maine and Kansas.and Gen Z in the state meeting the Holocaust knowledge criteria.
Of course, they are being taught by hateful people - friends, neighbors, some teachers, the streets, etc.
Make sure you precise 'in america', no one abroad is dumb enough for that
That 10% will become 0% real soon if Betsy DeVos remain secretary of education.
Someone should introduce them to names such as Himmler, Goebbels, Adolf Eichmann and the SS-Totenkopfverbande (SS-TV) which ran the concentration and extermination camps. Or try Buchenwald, Dachau, Mauthausen, I could go on and on. Unless I am misunderstanding their meaning. 🤷♂️
That feeling when what you say goes over everyone's head. 'If the Jews didn't exist, technically they could not have caused the holocaust.' Read that then read the tweet again. Then read my reply a second time.
EconomicsJunkie We need to get them all to know the Jews caused the holocaust.
Artstrada A closer look at the data will show who thinks this and where they are. The fact that red states have higher % shows this belief is rooted in culture.
This shows that we really need to put more money into education instead of the military... because this is showing a lack of knowledge that is just not acceptable in this day & age 😐
I’m gonna guess these are Trump supporters.
Lol let’s feed them more tiktok more porn less books
Who's the fascist now ?
Well it's very simple isn't it: JUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE HISTORY CLASSES....Period!
Hitler killed the Jew for no reason at all. Duh.
this sounds about right in a trump world. sounds like the rebirth of Nazi youth org.
Probably because they have been committing one for 72 years against the Palestinians PalestinianLivesMatter
10% of morons within a population group sounds representative.
Not surprising.
Cool now do the Holodomor :
are their parents trump supporters? Im gonna guess yes.
Podrá ser generación digital/cuántica pero la gener Milénica y Z (pos-Mil) en EEUU no es excenta de cretinismo y necedad. 10% cree q Cristo causó el holocausto y 5% cree q los judíos estaban detrás del genocidio. Eso pasa cuando vives sujet a FB, IG,y rrss, y apoyas a Trump.
I definitely learned a lot about the Holocaust in school. Have things changed? Or are people just more susceptible to online conspiracy theories because it’s easier to find and more prominent in our lives now?
The humanities (English, history, literature, etc)are declining majors in universities. Schools need to be focusing in equally with history and STEM classes at all levels.
Millions of people voted for trump. There are no limits to the stupidity
Disgusting
There very idea that only one version of hIstory is right, the other version is Nazi is the very reason why we had Hitler. Now, is it really their sin if they think Jews caused holocaust? Do you propose to kill them? Be reasonable - it is a free world!
This new Democrat party hates Israel. What's sad is American Jews hate the Jews. Look into jstreetdotorg they are a horrible bunch of self-hating Jewish Democrats. Strange Times, Folks...Strange times
You seem to hate Jew's.
That's frightening. Who f*cked up on their education?
Mannheim believed that different social groups vary greatly in their capacity thus to transcend their own narrow position. ― Peter L. Berger, The Social Construction of Reality: A Treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge
More american stupidity Horrifying
That’s wrong and I don’t like that trend at all
Add that to their ignorance of history & economics in general, you have a substantial portion of the population susceptible to their minds being manipulated by leftwing extremists. In spite of appalling history illiteracy by those older, some want 16 year olds to vote. Lunacy.
They weren't?
Så tragiskt och läskigt historielöst.
Not surprising, thats the 10% that vote for trump.
In other words, a tiny minority believe it, and it's more a reflection on the education system than anything else.
Huh What How How can they be so stupid
FFS!
I blame the education system and conspiracy theorist for not sharing the real history about the Holocaust and history for POC. And they wonder why racism is so rampant in this country....lack of knowledge!!!
Education what a horrible thing NOT to guarantee in society, we can blame ourselves for this ignorance
newsweak GenZ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Millennials ...
At this point, I'm pretty certain at least 10% of the population believes myths, conspiracy and nonsense on any and all topics. We need to ensure education on this is never lost.
The stupidity is so alarming and scary. That percent needs to educate themselves. Idiots.
Merde!
We need better history teachers I assume
Interesting bc younger gens are statistically more diverse, concerned about human rights and climate change than any earlier generation. This was a four paragraph article.
Well that shows the level of both ignorance and racism against the Jews by the youth. It was Meth abuse after WWI leading up to WWII. We know that drug creates massive paranoia/conspiracy. Same thing is happening in US right now with it's Meth problem. WRITING IS ON THE WALL!
Well, if Jews didn't exist there would've been no holocaust, technically.
Great job schools 👏👏👏
There’s museums, books and documentaries to steer them straight.
They don’t recognize the impact of slavery either.
nazis...
the holocaust is the holocaust...point...
They don't know the real issues. Not limited to the Holocaust though.
