Survey Reveals That One In Five Young Germans Have Never Heard Of Auschwitz

The Daily Mail reports:

A survey carried out two days before Holocaust Memorial Day shows more than a fifth of young Germans do not know the name of Auschwitz or what happened there.

Twenty one per cent of people aged between 18 and 30 quizzed about the most notorious Nazi extermination camp had not heard of it, the survey revealed.

And almost half of all those canvassed by the Forsa research institute said they had never visited a concentration camp despite the fact Germany has made all of those on its soil permanent memorials to the dead.

This Friday is the 67th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz by the Red Army in 1945.
