That’s concening
I find German figure to be even more alarming.
Highly doubtful tbh, At least everyone of them would name Auschwitz maybe if u exclude Auschwitz I would believe these stats as rarely anyone knows even Dachau
The German number is extraordinary to see.
No one should feel responsible for what happened, before they were even born, but they’re just not told anything about it?
Austria I’m not even slightly surprised about.
I mean, how can 17% of Polish 18-29 year olds not name Auswitchz or Gross-Rosen?
America is an insulated country. Their education system by and large is crap and they learn about their own limited history. They have a (partial) excuse.
Anyone in Central Europe, especially on the eastern border of Germany, not knowing the name of a single concentration camp is somewhat beyond beggars belief. That’s far more concerning.
I don’t know anyone who couldn’t name Auschwitz. It’s like the only camp ever mentioned in any period piece about WW2/Nazi Germany from Hollywood.
I like how American ignorance just transcends generations
I’m seriously disappointed that there are 17% of 18-29 in Poland and 7% in total. I mean… How? They teach in schools about that, Polish media are bombarding us with the topic every year when there is something regarding the Holocaust or WW2 remembrance. Not to mention that the most infamous camp – Auschwitz-Birkenau is literally located on our soil. How can someone be so ignorant?
I wouldn’t even say anything about the Germany or Austria… That is even more concerning.
I totally believe the Holocaust happened and that 6 million innocent Jewish people were murdered. It was a crime and needs to be remembered and taught. But I’ll depart from the mainstream here when I say that i think it needs to be remembered in a historical context and not separate to the rest of history and more recent history. And I don’t think that inability to name a concentration camp is quite the same thing as ignorance of or denial of the basic facts of the Holocaust, though the former could be a leading indicator of the latter.
It is interesting that the older American population is just as ignorant as the young one. Lifelong learning is not a thing there, it seems.
But can they at least name one US concentration camp?
Because it didn’t happen in America so it doesn’t exist to them.
They should have an alternative survey asking “Do you know what is Auswitch”. Immediate recall is less important IMO.
26% for young Germans is fucking atrocious. Wtf are we doing?
18% of Germans is more shocking. Strongly correlates with it’s right wing party share of the vote
tbf, i’ve visited a camp myself, but i had to google it because i couldn’t remember its name (it was Terezin, my confusion probably came from the fact that it’s called Theresienstadt in my language)
They will be making new ones of their own to remember at the rate they are going
So basically we’re getting set for history to repeat, great.
These are percentages of a sample size of 1,000 adults (however sampled) from one survey – and every country has *those* kinds of people. Most people would at least be able to name Auschwitz/Auschwitz-Birkenau or other more prominent ones.
Quite frankly all of these figures are pretty insane. What with schooling, personal reading/learning, family history/experience and any or all other factors included. I find it difficult to believe. But hey, people are dumb.
is the American society is so incredibly uneducated.
Cool. I wonder what the numbers are for stuff in East Asia and the Japanese? U.S. Civil Rights or Civil War and the rest of the world? Stuff in South America or Africa?
50% of European kids probably can rattle off more footballers than WWII figures. Is that ignorance or just time moving on? Are we supposed to learn WWII the way some people used to learn Greek Mythology?
This seems more if a performative outrage than a real problem.
It’s crazy that allegedly some people in Germany aren’t able or willing to name a concentration camp, especially if those people are German. Maybe the same effect as seen in YouTube videos where people in an interview situation can’t remember the most basic things…it’s unbelievable. Shaking my head right now.
Poland? WTF?
On the bright side, 100% of Americans over the age of 29 can name one, if I understand the graph correctly,
I only know aushwitz and luft-stalag 13.
I mean, it’s in a different continent people. I’m Argentinian and can understand it. Even if the US actively participated, they wer eof course less affected than europe.
Seeing how often the term “fascist” gets spammed around, I think most people don`t know it meaning or historic significance either…
It is a sad world to live in, seeing that banning one`s (perceived) opinion is normalized while simultaneously claiming someone is a “nazi” or “fascist” without any evidence nor proper trail is cheered on.
Meh, I think it’s safe to assume if they were instead asked “Have you heard of Auschwitz? Can you tell me what it was or what happened there?” the results would be much, much different.
I am not surprised by American numbers. But 17 per cent of 18-29 y/o Polish people? 26 per cent of Germans????
Yes. And as I’ve painfully learned they last few years many don’t know how Hitler came to power, what the early stages of fascism entail, how Hitlers Gleichschaltung and Machtergreifung were orchestrated and so on and so forth. Their education has failed them and we‘ll all suffer the consequences to some extent.
Distance seems to be the correlation, Romania being a bit of an outlier.
When i was in school in Germany we visited a concentration camp. We dont do that anymore?
The numbers are pretty appalling. At least for Romania i can understand that the education system sucks, the Holocaust and Romania’s role in it are pretty much skipped in history classes – it certainly was in mine and everything I know about the topic I learned by myself.
However I can’t for the life of me think of a reason why the numbers are the way they are for Germany and **Poland**. Methodology maybe (I hope)?
Tbh nexuses Auschwitz, I couldn’t name any other and that’s probably the case for 90% of the adults in my country.
i bet brown shirts are flying of the shelves right now
Well 54% of American adults have sub 6th grade literacy skills, so not a shocker here.
They know who Theo Von is but not Goebbels.

I grew up in rural America and can confirm that I never learned about the subject matter concerning WWII. We were taught that WWII happened “in Europe,” and that America ended the war when “we dropped the A-bomb.” Many of my peers did not pursue additional education beyond what was required (they did not go to university) and lacked the tools or knowledge to seek out more information. For further context, I graduated high school in 2009.
This graph isn’t surprising to me, nor are the current events unfolding in America. Half of Americans don’t know the history that the rest of the world swore never to forget—for fear of it happening again.
This survey seems kinda fake… Poland only having 7 & 17% while everyone here knows bout Auschwitz and other camps…
German concetration camp*
As a Romanian in the age group 18-29 I am extremely ashamed of my fellow young Romanians and on our educational system
