In their 2012 survey, GfK found 89% agree with the statement: "The Nazis killed millions of Jews".

Though 5% agreed with this statement: "The killing of millions of Jews by the Nazis is historically not proven".

6% were "undecided".

The trend over time:



In 1979 there were 15% who agreed with the 2nd statement, so it seems to be going down but stagnating lately at about 5%.

Today, 13% of "workers" agree with the 2nd statement, while 97% of those with at least a high school or university degree agree with the 1st statement.

72% agree that "it should be talked about and there should be research about the Nazi-killings, so that is doesn't happen again".

Especially the younger people (15-29 years old) and those who currently go to school or study, agree with 87% and 92%.

On the other hand, 26% think that "it's better if nothing is said about it anymore and it should be considered over and done with".

Especially workers (39%), middle-aged people (34%) and people from Carinthia/Styria (31%) agree with this.

74% of Austrians polled think that Austria was jointly responsible with Germany in the killings of Jews.

16% say that the "Germans alone" are to blame for the killings of Jews by the Nazis.

Again, 10% are "undecided".

And also like above, younger people and those in education/study or with high school or university degrees agree much more with the 1st than the 2nd statement.

I think you cannot be "undecided" about this, so you should factor in a big majority of those into the Holocaust-denier-segment as well. So, basically 11% of the population.

"I'm not a Holocaust denier but..." types make up a significant proportion of the undecided.

Surely, that's a figure that has to be underestimated as well. I can't imagine that there aren't people who deep down think so but wouldn't say it to a pollster.
