In 2020 the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference) released the findings of the U.S. Millennial Holocaust Knowledge and Awareness Survey, which was the first-ever 50-state survey on Holocaust knowledge among Millennials and Gen Z. The state-by-state results highlighted an alarming lack of basic Holocaust knowledge, a serious problem as fewer and fewer Holocaust survivors (eyewitnesses to state-sponsored genocide) are alive to share the lessons of the Holocaust.
Nationally, there was a clear lack of awareness of key historical facts; 63 percent of all national survey respondents did not know that six million Jews were murdered and 36 percent thought that “two million or fewer Jews” were killed during the Holocaust. Additionally, although there were more than 40,000 camps and ghettos in Europe during the Holocaust, 48 percent of national survey respondents could not name a single one.
