One in five Americans believe the Holocaust of the Jewish people is a myth, according to polling data published by YouGov/The Economist on Thursday.
The poll, which surveyed 1,500 adult US citizens, asked respondents about their thoughts on a wide range of issues including the Jewish people, Israel, and the Holocaust.
Information on how respondents answered questions according to their gender, race, age, income level, and political affiliation, among other demographic groups, was recorded by the poll.
Of the categories that revealed the most striking differences between the demographics recorded, perhaps the most dramatic was regarding belief among the various age groups.
A full two thirds (67%) then said it was indeed antisemitic to deny that the Holocaust happened. Another 9% said that it wasn’t and the rest were unsure.
This figure drastically changes when the 18-29 year-old age bracket is singled out. Among this group, less than half (46%) said that to deny that the Holocaust happened is antisemitic while 17% said it was not; the rest were unsure.
