** What Americans know about the Holocaust ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

Most U.S. adults know what the Holocaust was and approximately when it happened, but fewer than half can correctly answer multiple-choice questions about the number of Jews who were murdered or the way Adolf Hitler came to power, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis ([link removed]) . When asked to describe in their own words what the Holocaust was, more than eight-in-ten Americans mention the attempted annihilation of the Jewish people or other related topics, such as concentration or death camps, Hitler or the Nazis. Seven-in-ten know that the Holocaust happened between 1930 and 1950.

** Do state laws on abortion reflect public opinion? ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

In 2019, lawmakers in seven states enacted laws that could, if they withstand legal challenges, ban the vast majority of abortions in those states. A new analysis by Pew Research Center ([link removed]) shows that in these seven states, as well as others that have enacted various other restrictions on abortion, public opinion tends to run much more against legal abortion than in states that have not passed these laws.
