One in Five Young Americans Believes Holocaust is a Myth, Poll Finds
Findings Spark Concern Amid Rising Anti-Semitism on US University Campuses
- One in five young Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 believe the Holocaust is a myth, according to a recent poll conducted by The Economist/YouGov.
- Only half of the young Americans surveyed are convinced that the Holocaust definitely happened.
- The poll also revealed that young people are nearly five times more likely to believe that Jews have too much power in the USA than those aged 65 or over.
- The findings come amid growing accusations of anti-Semitism on US university campuses since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
- Concerned parents are overhauling their children’s applications to Ivy League universities in response to some university leaders refusing to condemn calling for the genocide of Jews as hate speech.
