Erasing history: How Holocaust denial and distortion is fueling antisemitism

JL;DR SUMMARY Amid rising antisemitism, Marina Rosenberg of the Anti-Defamation League highlights how Holocaust denial and distortion continue to fuel anti-Jewish sentiments, as revealed by the ADL's Global 100 survey.

Places mentioned

Israel
"On the eve of Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) in Israel, we must renew our commitment to historical truth as the world grows dangerously comfortable with forgetting."
Poland
"This pattern is especially evident in Poland, the country where the highest numbers of Jews were murdered during the Holocaust."
Bangladesh
"To put it simply, these numbers suggest that downplaying the Holocaust opens the door to wider antisemitism, even in the very countries where the genocide happened. At its bleakest, the survey finds that fewer than 1-in-10 individuals accept the well-documented realities of the Holocaust in places like Bangladesh (2%)."
Bahrain
"At its bleakest, the survey finds that fewer than 1-in-10 individuals accept the well-documented realities of the Holocaust in places like Bangladesh (2%), Bahrain (8%), Indonesia (8%) and the West Bank and Gaza (9%)."

"Trivializing the Holocaust isnt just a matter of ignorance for these individuals; instead, it seems to come from a place of deliberate hatred. This minimization is common even in democratic countries like Chile (40%)."
China
"Trivializing the Holocaust isnt just a matter of ignorance for these individuals; instead, it seems to come from a place of deliberate hatred. This minimization is common even in democratic countries like Chile (40%), global superpowers such as China (34%)."
Turkey
"Trivializing the Holocaust isnt just a matter of ignorance for these individuals; instead, it seems to come from a place of deliberate hatred. This minimization is common even in democratic countries like Chile (40%), global superpowers such as China (34%) and NATO member Trkiye (28%)."
