Posted by Dyre Dan on Wed Sep 16 20:09:49 2020, in response to Americans under 40 unfamiliar with the Holocaust, posted by Easy on Wed Sep 16 14:36:20 2020. This seems very hard to believe, since Holocaust memorials and commemorations are everywhere. Who actually conducted the survey? The linked article says that the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany "commissioned" and "set up a task force to oversee" the survey, but does not name any actual polling organization. It says 200 people were picked at random from each state to answer, which would be 10,000 people nationwide, but it also says there were 1,000 people nationwide. We're told "Almost two-thirds of young American adults do not know that 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust", but also that almost two-thirds (64%) "believe Holocaust education should be compulsory in schools". How can those both be true?Teaching about the Holocaust should be a standard part of courses in world history, which in turn should be a standard part of the school curriculum. It shouldn't be separated out into a special "Holocaust Education" module. |
