The survey had been launched in the context of "2005: 60th Anniversary of the End of the Second World War and Year of Remembrance" which offered a stage for various events about the Holocaust and gave additional possibility to commemoration. Over 500 young people the average age being 22, participated in the survey which had been available online for two months. The study by the Research Group Youth & Europe does not claim being representative, but can show some interesting tendencies on how history is faced and on what can be its impact on learning and teaching "Democracy, Tolerance and Human Rights" today.
