STUDY: A third of U.S. millennials have never heard of the Holocaust

Is this an indictment on government schools? Or are millennials, and even older Americans, just not that bright?

The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany released the results of a new survey, and the findings are truly disturbing.

According to the study, one-third of millennials have never heard of the Holocaust – 22 percent among 18-to-24 and 11 percent of 25-to-34. Moreover, 41 percent of young Americans don’t know what Auschwitz was and the same number said fewer than two million Jews were systematically killed in the Holocaust.

But there’s more.

From Ynetnews:

The survey also examined knowledge of some of the central figures identified with the Holocaust and World War II. 15% had never heard of Anne Frank, a German-born diarist who was eventually captured by the Nazis as a little girl while in hiding and killed in the Final Solution.

Forty-four percent had never heard of Oskar Schindler, a German industrialist who saved over 1,000 Jews, and 54% had never heard of Eli Wiesel, a Romanian-born Holocaust survivor who went on to become a writer, professor, political activist and Nobel Laureate. 44% percent also did not know who headed the Nazi SS, Heinrich Himmler.

This is deeply troubling on various levels.

First, it shows how inadequate the government school system has become if a significant portion of young people have never heard of the holocaust. This is probably because these indoctrination centers focus on having kids massage each other’s feet and listening to drag queens read children’s stories.

Second, these results suggest that there is a reason why so many young people like the idea of big government and identity politics. Since they are ignorant to the fact that racial hierachies and an expansive state contributed to the massacring of Jews, they will welcome anyone who will blame Caucasians for their troubles and promise free goodies at the same time (SEE: 5 Nazi facts the left, Antifa & the MSM seem to forget).

Third, if people don’t remember true anti-Semitism, then they will likely endorse open anti-Semites like Linda Sarsour and terrorist groups that want to exterminate Israel.

Government schools and the left fail again.
