"Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth"

“Failing to educate students about the gravity and scope of the Holocaust is a disservice to the memory of its victims and to our duty to prevent such atrocities in the future,” Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) said in a statement.
One fifth of Americans ages 18-29 believe the Holocaust was a myth, according to a new poll from The Economist/YouGov.
While the question only surveyed a small sample of about 200 people, it lends credence to concerns about rising antisemitism, especially among young people in the U.S.
Another 30 percent of young people said they didn’t agree or disagree with the statement, while the remaining 47 percent disagreed. Only 7 percent of Americans overall believe the Holocaust is a myth, according to the poll.
