Abstract
The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference), commissioned Schoen Consulting to conduct a comprehensive national study of Holocaust Knowledge and Awareness in France. Schoen Consulting conducted 1,100 interviews with French adults aged 18 and over between November 9 and 16, 2019. The margin of error is 3.1 percent.
The France study finds critical gaps in Holocaust Knowledge and Awareness in France. The majority of French respondents surveyed (57 percent) and more than twothirds of Millennials and Gen Z—defined as those under 38 years of age—surveyed (69 percent) do not know that six million Jews were killed during the Holocaust.
Meanwhile, a majority of French citizens (52 percent) believe that something like the Holocaust could happen again in Europe.
