A new survey claims the Holocaust is receding in collective memory, as few Americans know the death toll of Jews. The Pew Research Center report, “What Americans Know About the Holocaust,” said 45 percent of almost 11,000 Americans surveyed didn’t know the Nazis killed 6 million Jews during World War II. Auschwitz was the most notorious in a system of death and concentration camps that Nazi Germany operated on territory it occupied across Europe. The World Holocaust Forum in Jerusalem, the largest-ever summit of its kind, drew more than 45 world leaders, including German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Germans tried to dehumanize them, to reduce them to numbers, to erase all memory of them in the extermination camps.
