Searching for a Korean HolocaustEducation Model: Based on a Critical Review of the ADL’s Global Survey

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study began with questions about the results of the ADL’s survey. Based on the results of a single survey, South Korea has become globally recognized as a hotbed of anti-Semitism. The survey methods can be accessed by the public, but the adequacy of the samples cannot be verified. For this reason, I adopted the ADL’s questionnaire and conducted the survey again in the same way. There were three goals in this study. First, I sought to confirm the degree of anti-Semitism among Koreans more clearly based on empirical data. Then, I compared the data with those of other countries to identify key factors affecting the development of anti-Semitic sentiments among Koreans. Finally, I sought out strategies for providing Holocaust education better-suited to East Asia, where there is little empirical connection with Jewish culture and the Holocaust, unlike in Western countries.
