Most Americans believe that something like the Holocaust could happen again.

58% of Americans believe that something like the Holocaust can happen again, according to a survey conducted by the Claims Conference among US adults. On this 12 April, on the Day of Remembrance of the Holocaust and Heroism of the Jews, said Julius Berman, President of the Claims Conference, according to a press release of the organization.

The survey also found that 70% of Americans believe that people are less interested in the Holocaust today than in the past.

About 31% of Americans and 41% of so-called millennials believe that fewer than 6 million Jews (2 million or less) were killed during the Holocaust. Despite the fact that over 40000 extermination camps and ghettos operated in Europe during the Holocaust, 45% of respondents were unable to remember the name of even one of them.

“The survey showed the importance of teaching Holocaust lessons in our schools. There are still many blind spots in Holocaust awareness, although Holocaust survivors still live among us. Imagine a situation where no one is left alive who can tell us about how it happened. We must ensure that the horrors of the Holocaust and the memories of those who suffered so much are taught to new generations,” said Greg Schneider, executive vice president of the Claims Conference.

At the same time, 93% of respondents believe that all students should study the Holocaust as part of school work. 80% responded that it was important to continue to teach the lessons of the Holocaust to avoid repeating it.

The survey also revealed that most Americans, namely 80%, have never been to the Holocaust Museum.

Note that the survey “Research on Holocaust awareness and awareness” was commissioned by the Claims Conference. Information collected and analyzed by a consulting company. Schoen Consulting, who conducted 1350 interviews - telephone and network. The respondents were chosen at random and represent a demographic slice of the US adult population.
