while I love dunking on americans, I think that tweet does play a little fast and loose with the numbers about how many people think it's a myth (although the actual numbers are still bad)
looking at the
study (p4), it looks like 10% think it's a myth or aren't sure (no breakdown provided of the not sures, but given 12% of respondents apparently had never heard of the holocaust you've got to think there's at least a few), and the 23% figure also includes people who think it was exaggerated or weren't sure whether it was exaggerated (to be clear: also not great)
idk maybe that's not important but it just bugs me when someone makes a claim and links to an article that doesn't actually say what they claim it does, even when the spirit of what they're saying isn't really affected too much
as for two thirds of people not being able to name the number of jews killed in the holocaust when asked 'how many jews dies in the holocaust?'...well, I like to think I'm not a complete idiot but if you asked me that question then my answer would 100% be a guess because that's not a figure I've ever memorised. I might get there if you offered me some options but just asking me to pull it out of the air? nah I'm gonna miss badly
honestly slightly surprised that a third of people could get that one right, am I just being ignorant here?
