With antisemitic violence and Holocaust denial on the rise and only a few contemporary witnesses still able to share first-hand accounts of their experiences under National Socialism, it is important to encourage people to address the past through programmes tailored to circumstances today. But how do people in Germany learn about the Nazi era and what role do digital approaches play in this?
To find out, the Alfred Landecker Foundation commissioned a representative survey. In April 2024, 2,275 people were asked by the pollster YouGov about the sources of their knowledge about National Socialism and the Holocaust. The survey focused in particular on how widespread digital remembrance formats currently are, the motivations behind their use and the potential they offer for new approaches to teaching history.
