The term Holocaust survivor is often used in a very vague sense: it does not always mean someone who emerged alive from an extermination camp or concentration camp ... For example, people who managed to hide succesfully from the Nazis also count as Holocaust survivors. There are difficulties of defintion. When, in 1940, all Jews in Warsaw were ordered to move into the area designated as the ghetto, some fled to eastern Poland, which had been occupied by the Soviet Union. In June 1941, the Germans invaded the Soviet Union. However, provided that these Jews could stay behind Soviet lines there were safe. Do they count as survivors? Some countries occupied by the Nazis had their own pro-Nazi governments, for example, France. The willingness or otherwise of these collaborators to hand over Jews to the Nazis varied. For example, Vichy France handed over Jewish refugees from Germany but, on the whole, was less willing to hand over Jews who had French citizenship ... Of course, there were also Nazi installed puppet governments, which simply obeyed. Please also see the related question below.
