One in seven think Holocaust exaggerated

AS BRITAIN prepares for its fourth annual Holocaust Memorial Day tomorrow, a poll has shown that more than one in seven people in Britain believe the scale of the Nazi Holocaust against Jews is exaggerated.

The findings of the ICM survey, conducted for the London-based Jewish Chronicle weekly newspaper, showed that 15% of those polled agreed with a question asking if the scale of the Holocaust had been exaggerated.

70% disagreed with the statement, and 62% disagreed with it strongly, according to the survey.
