Well even if 100% would know about that you can't change history knowing that fact.
And what the future concerns.
In Europe more people seem to know what is called in history "Holocaust"
In Israel surely 100% of the Israelis know what is called in history books "Holocaust".
But even with more people knowing what the holocaust is or was you won't prevent Europe or Israel form repeating the same in the future.
One Being able to give a definition what happened in the past, is not a guarantee that one will recognize when similar patterns are in develop in the present that might lead to a similar cruelty in the future.
You need to know more than just give the definition of the Holocaust if you want genocide being something that belongs to the past of humanity from now on.
