Online Talk – Holocaust Consciousness in Britain: A Response to the Claims Conference Survey

For the third event in the British Association for Holocaust Studies postgraduate events series, we will hear from Dr Andy Pearce from the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education to discuss Holocaust Consciousness in Britain: A Response to the Claims Conference Survey.

Released in November 2021, the Claims Conference survey found that the majority (52%) of all respondents did not know that six million Jews were murdered and 22% thought that two million or fewer Jews were killed during the Holocaust. Further, a majority of U.K. respondents (57%) believe that fewer people seem to care about the Holocaust today than they used to, and 56% believe that something like the Holocaust could happen again today.
