POLL: 70 Years After Holocaust, Tons Of Europeans Still Anti-Semitic

According to a new CNN/Comres survey, only three generations after six million Jews, including one million children, were murdered in the Holocaust, a huge number of Europeans still hold nasty anti-Semitic views, including thinking Jews have control of business, finance, media, and politics around the world, and exaggerating the number of Jews in order to buttress their conspiratorial theories.

The poll surveyed over 1,000 respondents each in Austria, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Poland and Sweden. Roughly two-thirds of the respondents in the survey wildly overestimated the number of Jews in the world. While Jews comprise roughly 0.2% of the world’s population, one-quarter of Hungarians and 20% of British and Polish respondents thought Jews comprised over 20% of the world’s population. As CNN noted, “Four out of ten respondents in the survey thought their own countries were between 3% and 10% Jewish. In fact, Israel is the only country in the world where more than 2% of the population is Jewish.”
