Editing Holocaust denial (section)

=== United Kingdom ===
In January 2019, a survey conducted by Opinion Matters, on behalf of the [[Holocaust Memorial Day (UK)|Holocaust Memorial Day Trust]] found that 5% of UK adults did not believe the Holocaust took place and one in 12 (8%) believed its scale has been exaggerated. One in five respondents incorrectly answered that less than 2 million Jews were murdered, and 45% couldn't say how many people were murdered in the Holocaust. Speaking in light of the survey's findings, [[Karen Pollock]], chief executive of the [[Holocaust Educational Trust]], said: "One person questioning the truth of the Holocaust is one too many, and so it is up to us to redouble our efforts to ensure future generations know that it did happen and become witnesses to one of the darkest episodes in our history."<ref name=guardian-20190127>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jan/27/one-in-20-britons-does-not-believe-holocaust-happened|title=One in 20 Britons does not believe Holocaust took place, poll finds|last=Sherwood|first=Harriet|newspaper=The Guardian|date=January 27, 2019|access-date=February 2, 2019|archive-date=July 30, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190730023456/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jan/27/one-in-20-britons-does-not-believe-holocaust-happened|url-status=live}}</ref> The [[BBC Radio 4]] programme ''[[More or Less (radio programme)|More or Less]]'', specializing on statistics, investigated the survey finding it was unlikely to be accurate. Participants were incentivized to complete the online survey by shopping vouchers encouraging speedy answering, and the principal question was a "reverse question" with most participants having to give the reverse answer to surrounding questions requiring careful answering. Another question asked how many Jewish people had been murdered in the holocaust with only 0.2% of participants giving the answer zero, which was considered to be a closer estimate of the number of UK adults that did not believe the Holocaust took place.<ref name=bbcr4-20190201>{{cite AV media|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00028cf|series=More or Less|title=Holocaust deniers, Venezuelan hyperinflation, Tinder likes|people=[[Tim Harford]], Peter Lynn (Professor of Survey Methodology)|publisher=BBC Radio 4|date=February 1, 2019|time=0m27s|access-date=February 2, 2019|archive-date=August 16, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190816103617/https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00028cf|url-status=live}}</ref>
