A survey that was conducted by Liberation 75 in 2021 found that 1 in 3 students thought that the Holocaust was either fabricated, exaggerated, or did not happen at all. In a newer survey with 9000 grade-6 students conducted in 2024, 40% responded that they had unquestionably witnessed an antisemitic event. In an interview with Founder, Marilyn Sinclair, it was discussed that Jews represent only 2% of the population in Canada, however 360 out of 900 students had witnessed this. Sinclair mentioned in that same survey, students were asked, "how big of a problem is it?" 50% said that when they witness an antisemitic event, "it's a huge problem that needs to be dealt with urgently."
