Description

A 2019 Claims Conference study demonstrated an alarming lack of knowledge about the Holocaust in the United States general population. There is currently no specific data on medical student knowledge of the Holocaust and the role that the medical community played. The goal of this study was to gather baseline data on medical student knowledge of the Holocaust and medicine’s involvement to demonstrate the need for Holocaust teaching in medical school.
