A recent YouGov poll data reveals a troubling trend among American youth – a significant proportion believe that the Holocaust is a ‘myth’, ‘exaggerated’, or part of a political plot. This phenomenon is attributed to the lack of religious and historical education, which serves to decontextualize and diminish the horrific events of the Holocaust. With rising anti-Semitism, this lack of awareness and understanding poses a serious threat to societal harmony and progress.
Do you believe that integrating Holocaust education more comprehensively in school curriculums will help combat the growing ignorance and apathy?
