WATCH: Ami Horowitz asks Europeans what was the Holocaust

I asked young adults in Paris if they knew what the Holocaust was. Their answers are shocking and sad.

Recent surveys, particularly from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference), indicate significant gaps in Holocaust knowledge among young adults (often aged 18-29) in various European countries.

These findings have fueled discussions about declining awareness, especially as survivor testimonies fade and online misinformation spreads.A major 2025 multi-country study (covering the US, UK, France, Austria, Germany, Poland, Hungary, and Romania) highlighted worrying trends in Europe:
In France, 46% of young adults (18-29) reported they had not heard of the Holocaust (or were unsure if they had).
In Romania, 15% of the same age group said the same.
In Austria, 14%.
In Germany, 12%.
Many respondents across countries didn't know the established figure of 6 million Jews murdered, often underestimating it (e.g., believing 2 million or fewer). Young people were also more likely to view the death toll as exaggerated.

In the USA we seem to be leaving our Judeo Christian Heritage in the Trash-bins of Complacency. 🇺🇲🇮🇱🇺🇲🇮🇱🇺🇲🇮🇱🇺🇲🇮🇱🇺🇲🇮🇱🇺🇲🇮🇱🇺🇲

In any school around Europe, the teachers don't teach about the Holocaust. I was surprised to hear those teenagers from France, since many of their ancestors died in the Holocaust.

He who controls the classroom controls the future. Many European countries have caved to the demands of their Muslim migrant populations who don’t want to hear about the Holocaust.
