It seems that a recent survey shows that 23% of young Americans think that the Holocaust is a myth and 10% believe that Jews were responsible for it. I bet if they repeat this survey in 3 or 4 years they will find that a high percentage will say the Holocaust was the brand name of a beer that German soldiers use to drink back in the 30s! 

No wonder then that an American Professor at Notre Dame University has written: 
"My students are know-nothings...their brains are largely empty, devoid of any substantial knowledge that might be the fruits of an education"

PS - Thankfully, in the survey young Americans were not asked about Pol Pot genocide or about Ruanda genocide because in that case there would be a risk of answering that those had been artistic events.
