THE WEEK'S BIG 3
Kim Kardashian West, Katy Perry, Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Campbell and more than 50 other celebrities joined in a 24-hour Instagram “freeze” on Wednesday organized by the Stop Hate for Profit coalition to protest against parent company Facebook’s failure to tackle violent and hateful content and election misinformation. A nationwide survey released Wednesday shows a "worrying lack of basic Holocaust knowledge" among adults under 40, including over 1 in 10 respondents who did not recall ever having heard the word "Holocaust" before. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday signed historic and groundbreaking normalization agreements with the United Arab Emirates
and Bahrain, the third and fourth ever between Israel and Arab states.

Sixty-three percent of those surveyed did not know that 6 million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, and over half of those thought the death toll was fewer than 2 million.
