Holocaust Memorial Day: 'Shocking' levels of denial remain
Quote:
Five per cent of UK adults do not believe the Holocaust took place and one in 12 believes its scale has been exaggerated, a survey has found.
The poll of more than 2,000 people was carried out by Opinion Matters for the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT).
Almost two-thirds of respondents could not say how many Jews were murdered or "grossly" under-estimated the number

I suppose the problem is that since it is no longer in living memory* for the vast majority of the U.K. population, I (kind of) understand why people wouldn’t know the numbers murdered, but I find the figure of 1 in 20 not believing that the Holocaust happened quite shocking.
* 93% of the current U.K. population were born after 1945
