The October 2025 poll of nearly 3,000 people found 37 percent of 'Current GOP' members—Trump voters and Republicans—viewing the Holocaust as greatly exaggerated or not as historians describe, 36 percent doubting the Apollo 11 moon landing, and 41 percent suspecting U.S. government involvement in 9/11. These views concentrate among younger 'New Entrant Republicans,' often former Democrats or first-time GOP supporters since 2020, with higher rates among Black and Hispanic respondents compared to whites. Regular church attendance strongly predicts rejection of antisemitic attitudes, while 17 percent of Republicans hold such views, similar to Democrats; most say openly antisemitic people should not be welcome in party ranks.

Key Takeaway

A recent survey uncovers surprising beliefs held by a notable share of Trump 2024 voters and registered Republicans. Majorities reject the ideas, but minorities embrace them in striking numbers.

Leontovych, a teacher and choral conductor born in 1877 in Monastyrok, refined the pagan New Year chant 'Shchedryk'—about swallows and bountiful harvests—into its familiar form, premiering it in 1916 during Ukraine's independence push. Peter Wilhousky added English bell lyrics in 1936, transforming it into a global Christmas staple sung in countless languages. Tragically assassinated by Soviet agents in 1921 for his cultural work, Leontovych's enduring tune now echoes resilience, from soldiers' performances in ruins to symphony inspirations.

Key Takeaway

December 13 honors the 148th birthday of Mykola Leontovych, whose lively arrangement of 'Shchedryk' became the beloved 'Carol of the Bells.' Born in a quiet Ukrainian village, he wove ancient folk traditions into a melody that still fills holiday air worldwide.
