Knowledge and remembrance of the Holocaust in Poland

Data from a public opinion survey conducted in Poland in December 1994 and January 1995, the survey was conducted to develop a further understanding of the Polish attitude toward the Holocaust. ; Based on a survey of public opinion conducted in December 1994-January 1995, finds that a large majority of Poles favor keeping alive the memory of the German extermination of the Jews. Poles have a positive opinion on Polish behavior toward Jews during the Holocaust but tend to underestimate the number of Jews killed. A substantial majority of Poles acknowledge the reality of antisemitism in contemporary Poland, but, compared to a similar survey done in 1991, the actual level of antisemitism in Poland appears to be declining. Older Poles are more likely than younger ones to view Jews as Christ-killers.
