Before the war, and according to the world almanac, ""World Almanac, 1938, pg. 510 -- world jewish population = 15,748,091""
After the war, "World Almanac USA, 1947, pg. 748: World Jewish Population -- 15,690,000"

____

The World Almanac was notoriously unreliable on this at the time and later revised its figures for the whole period 1938-1948. The real figures are about 16 million in 1939 and 10 million in 1945. See the link - scroll down to the section 'Jewish Population'.

dear sir, I m new about studying Holocaust matter.I would like to ask you why the World Almanac is not notoriuosly unreliable on the period 1939-1946. I would like to know where did you get the statistic about jewish popupalation of 16 millions in 1939 and 10 million in 1945. How it's possible to determine the real popoluation of the jewish population between 1939 to 1945.
I waiting for your kind reply.

For much of the last 2,000 years Britain's population has been in the low millions - a result of poor diet, famines, wars, diseases and primitive health care, which have all helped ensure that life for many has been nasty, brutal and short.

Catastrophes such as the Black Death played their part in keeping population figures down, and reduced the number of the British people almost by half in the 1300s.

The Plague returned periodically over the next three centuries, in a series of local and national epidemics, which led to a huge loss of life. For much of this period most of the population lived in the countryside, with London being the only major urban centre.

By the 1550s, the population had nearly recovered to the pre-Black Death level, and there were steady increases during the 1600s and 1700s. However, through the 1800s the population virtually doubled every 50 years. The increase would have been even greater, but many people emigrated in search of a better way of life, to the United States and then in the British Dominions.

In Ireland, in the latter half of the 19th and much of the 20th centuries, the population declined, or remained relatively static. This was due to the potato famine, which killed approximately one million people, and because of high levels of emigration to the New World and to Britain...

A little over 47 million before and after World War 2. (The Birth Rate rose sufficiently from 1942 onwards to compensate for the numbers killed in the war).

What percentage of the total population does Judaism represent?

The total number of Jews worldwide is difficult to assess because the definition of "who is a Jew" is problematic as not all Jews identify themselves as Jewish, and some who identify as Jewish are not considered so by other Jews. According to the Jewish Year Book (1901), the global Jewish population in 1900 was around 11 million.The latest available data is from the World Jewish Population Survey of 2002 and the Jewish Year Calendar (2005). In 2002, according to the Jewish Population Survey, there were 13.3 million Jews around the world.The Jewish Year Calendar cites 14.6 million. Jewish population growth is currently near zero percent, with 0.3% growth from 2000 to 2001. Intermarriage and the declining birthrate have influenced Jewish population figures, although conversion to Judaism may help to offset this slightly.It has been noted by some writers that the apparent prominence of Jews is disproportionate to the size of their population.
