Thirty-one percent of Americans, and 41 percent of millennials, believe that two million or fewer Jews were killed in the Holocaust; the actual number is around six million. 

Forty-one percent of Americans, and 66 percent of millennials, cannot say what Auschwitz was. 

And 52 percent of Americans wrongly think Hitler came to power through force.


For the record, millenials here is defined as people ages 18 to 34.
Frightening. But, rather than just state how ignorant people are, best to try and educate before things get worse. I think this is very important...

Is WWII not being taught in your schools or something? How's that even possible?
