An alarming number of young people now think the Nazis’ slaughter of six million Jews is a myth.
The results of a new poll, carried out by The Economist and YouGov, are deeply disturbing. They suggest that more than a fifth of young Americans, aged between 19 and 29, agree with the statement that ‘the Holocaust is a myth’. A further 30 per cent neither agree nor disagree with this statement. That means that just 47 per cent of American young people believe the Holocaust actually happened.
