Tel Aviv:
An overwhelming majority of Israelis still find it impossible to
forgive Germany for the Holocaust, in which the Nazi regime killed
six million Jews, according to an opinion poll published Sunday.
Asked if "65 years after the Holocaust took place in Europe, is it
time to forgive the German people and Germany for crimes committed
in the Holocaust" some 51 percent said they totally disagreed with
the sentiment.
Another 19 percent said they disagreed somewhat.
Only 23 percent said they were willing to forgive, and seven
percent said they had no opinion.
According to the survey, the older the respondents, the more
likely they were to forgive Germany. Secular Jews were also more
forgiving than their religious counterparts.
The survey, conducted by the Geocatrographia Institute on behalf
of the Centre for Academic Studies, interviewed 500 men and women
over the age of 18, a representative sample of the Jewish
population in Israel.
