One-fifth of US citizens between the ages of 18 and 29 believe that
the Holocaust is a myth, according to a new poll from the
Economist/YouGov.
The poll was conducted between December 2 and December 5, and among
other issues, examined the beliefs held by US citizens on Israel,
Jewish people and the Holocaust.
In response to the statement “The Holocaust is a myth,” 20 percent of participants between the ages of 18 and 29 said that they agreed with
it, and an additional 30% said that they did not agree or disagree.
In comparison, 8% of people between the ages of 30-44 agreed with the statement, as did 2% of people aged 45-64. However, of those over the
age of 65 who were surveyed, 0% agreed with the statement and just 2%
said that they neither agreed nor disagreed.
Overall, 7% of Americans believe that the Holocaust is a myth.
Asked elsewhere in the survey whether they believe it is antisemitic
to deny that the Holocaust took place, 17% of respondents in the 18-29
age group said that it was not antisemitic, and a further 37% said
that they were not sure.
Similarly, 23% of those aged 18-29 said that they agreed with the
statement: “The Holocaust has been exaggerated,” and 26% said they
neither agreed nor disagreed.
In addition to highlighting trends of Holocaust denial in the US, the
poll questioned participants about their views toward Jewish people in
the US today.
Asked whether they agreed with the statement “Jews have too much power
in America,” 16% of respondents said they agreed, 51% said they
disagreed and 33% said they neither agreed nor disagreed.
