46% of Adults Worldwide Hold Significant Antisemitic Beliefs, ADL Poll Finds |
ADL’s Global 100 survey found that nearly half of the world’s adult population – an estimated 2.2 billion people – harbor deeply entrenched antisemitic attitudes, more than double compared to ADL’s first worldwide survey a decade ago and the highest level on record since ADL started tracking these trends globally.
Other major findings include:
-
20 percent of respondents worldwide have not heard about the Holocaust.
-
Less than half (48%) of respondents recognize the Holocaust’s historical accuracy, which falls to 39 percent among 18- to 34-year-olds, highlighting a worrying demographic trend.
-
Respondents younger than 35 also have elevated levels of antisemitic sentiments (50 percent), 13 percentage points higher than respondents over 50.
-
Despite the alarming findings about antisemitic attitudes and Holocaust awareness, 57% of respondents globally recognize that hate towards Jews is a serious problem in the world.
The survey was widely covered by international media, including approximately 80 individually pitched articles, op-eds, and TV broadcasts, spanning nearly 20 countries. Jonathan Greenblatt, Marina Rosenberg and the IA team conducted over 50 interviews, resulting in features in prestigious news outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, CNBC’s
Squawk Box, BBC, the Australian (home page feature),
CNN,
Politico Europe, NY Post, Clarín, a24
,
Ynet, Die Zeit, and more. Additionally, the findings were cited by State Secretary, Marco Rubio, and in International Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremonies around the world such as in the UN and in Poland.
