Do you know enough about the Holocaust that happened only 70 years ago? It turns out you do, or at least so You think.

A survey conducted on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day by the Panels Politics research institute headed by Menachem Lazar, for Galei Israel Radio, shows that 741% of Israeli residents feel that they know enough about the Holocaust. Only 241% believe that they do not know enough.

The survey was conducted with 503 respondents randomly selected from the Panel4All political panel for conducting research via the Internet. The respondents constitute a representative sample of the adult population in the State of Israel - aged 18 and over.

Sampling error 4.6%.

Piron is right.

As for the education system in Israel, 53% believe that it is not doing enough to preserve the memory of the Holocaust, 35% of those surveyed responded that it is doing enough.

To the question, whether or not you think there could be another Holocaust against Jews, 49% of those surveyed answered that there could be another Holocaust, and only 35% thought the answer was negative. Interestingly, 50% of those surveyed believed that the existence of the State of Israel is a guarantee that another Holocaust against Jews will not occur. Only 38% answered negatively to the question.

This is perhaps why 72% of the respondents answered that the State of Israel is the safest place in the world for Jews, only 24% answered negatively.

Regarding anti-Semitic manifestations around the world, 69% of those surveyed believed that the State of Israel was not doing enough to address the phenomenon, while only 12% responded that it was doing enough.

The issue of treating Holocaust survivors received a poor score among 70% of respondents, 16% responded with a fair score, and 9% gave the score 9%.

In the breakdown of treatment by government, that is, in relation to the question: How do you evaluate the current government's treatment of Holocaust survivors compared to its predecessors? 47% of those surveyed answered that the treatment is the same as that of previous governments, 19% believed that the treatment was better, and 17% - that it was worse.
