Also a quarter of young Americans deny The Holocaust. Hating Jews is deep in the identity and politics of young Americans

It is one in five, so 20%, per your link.

One in four think it was exaggerated.

That’s a somewhat defensible position if you compare what Hitler did to what Stalin and the Japanese did. (At least when I was growing up, the Holocaust coursework completely ignored the Chinese, and mentioned Gypsies in passing, if at all. They covered homosexuals though.)
