Third of young adults in UK ‘unable to name Auschwitz or any Nazi death camps’

Lack of knowledge about Holocaust identified as well as level of denial and disinformation seen on social media

A third of young adults in the UK are unable to name Auschwitz or any of the other concentration camps and ghettoes where the crimes of the Holocaust were committed, according to a study.

Other growing gaps in knowledge - especially among those aged 18-29 - were also identified, as part of a major international survey in countries including the US and UK.
