Nearly two-thirds of US young adults unaware 6m Jews killed in the Holocaust
UK Guardian ^ | September 16, 2020 | Harriet Sherwood

Almost two-thirds of young American adults do not know that 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust, and more than one in 10 believe Jews caused the Holocaust, a new survey has found, revealing shocking levels of ignorance about the greatest crime of the 20th century.

According to the study of millennial and Gen Z adults aged between 18 and 39, almost half (48%) could not name a single concentration camp or ghetto established during the second world war.

Almost a quarter of respondents (23%) said they believed the Holocaust was a myth, or had been exaggerated, or they weren’t sure. One in eight (12%) said they had definitely not heard, or didn’t think they had heard, about the Holocaust.

“Blacks and hispanics don’t care about the Holocaust or Israel.”

Like Hitler wouldn’t have moved on from Jews to blacks and mestizo Hispanics, given the opportunity.

In fact, that was a primary goal of the American Bund, which is an interesting contrast from German Nazis (who really didn’t have much concern with blacks — and even recruited them to the Waffen SS).

Also, we are fake Jews that stole the mantel from Ishmael, who was an African King.

I wonder what the Arabs think of that since the Muslims adopt the view from the Torah that Ishmael was the father of the Arab people.

Yes. Someone complained about how schindlers list was not a diverse movie. I was left thinking whoever said that is an idiot. They should be glad it was not “diverse”. Unless they enjoy being gassed by the millions. Sad state of affairs in this victimology.

I’ve seen that figure of 11 million before (including both Jews and non-Jews) but I don’t think it is limited to those killed in the camps. About a third of the Jewish victims were not killed in one of the camps but elsewhere.

What is far worse is that up to 90% of young adults are unaware that EVEN MORE PEOPLE ( over 10 TIMES AS MANY ) died from Communism and are STILL DYING TODAY!!!

What is even worse is that another Holocaust being ran by CHYNA IS BEING IGNORED BY THE SAME DAMNED MEDIA THAT IGNORED THE 1930’s Holocaust! ie. The NY SLIMES!

Also the fact that THERE ARE MORE SLAVES NOW IN THE WORLD IN NON-WHITE countries than at any point of SLavery in White counties EVER!!!

The uneducated youth is being used FOR THEIR IGNORANCE OF HISTORY!

Many Guardian readers probably want the “Palestinians” to push the Jews into the Sea, so they should welcome this poll result.

Well, that was back in the 1970s ... it would be 50 million or more now.

[ And plenty of them think 911 is a conspiracy theory... ]

911 is a CONSPIRACY FACT!!!!

The fact is that incompetence at a Federal Level prevented good honest front line agents who were trying to WARN their higher ups from succeeding in heading off the attacks.

Whether this was intentional or not is the ONLY thing up for debate, the fact we didn’t FIRE VAST swaths of our higher management of the intelligence bureaucracy after 9/11 and instead bloated it some more, SPEAKS VOLUMES!

The book Night used to be required reading. Parents need to teach history today if they want their children exposed to world history.world history has been reduced to a stack of flash cards to study for a standardized test.

Yes,perhaps I shouldn't have used the word “camps”.I tend to use it in a generic way to mean “murdered in non combat circumstances”.

That was from Babylon Bee, a satire site, IIRC.

And just about zero know that 7 - 10 million Ukrainians were killed by Stalin. Or that millions of Armenians were killed by Ottoman Muslims, or that tens of millions of Chinese were killed by Mao, or that tens of millions of Russians were killed by Stalin, or that 6 million Africans were killed early this century, or millions were killed by Pol Pot in Cambodia, etc., etc., or in all, about a hundred million were killed in total by communist regimes in the 20th century.

1/4-1/3 don’t think it is a myth because “they never heard”.

Leftist antisemites taught them it was a myth.

The 25 million were those that they couldn’t put in gulags and reeducate

Wait until they put that same amount of focus on the Stonewall riots

Cesar Chavez was Jesus Christ

I wonder what those people might say should they find out about Cesar Chavez's ideas on illegal aliens? Hint, he HATED them, for taking jobs of his union workers and keeping their wages illegally low.

Then again, I'm sure those ideas would be well hidden by academia.
