How many Jews went into hiding to avoid being sent to the concentration camps and then survived World War 2 in occupied Europe?
Pvandenbrink11
Some European countries, provided a measure of safety for Jews, England, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Bulgaria and Switzerland, but allowed relatively few refugees. A few countries allied with Germany, managed to preserve more than 50% of their Jewish Population, Italy, Romania, Vichy France, Finland and to a much lesser extent Hungary. Countries occupied or governed by Germany, lost 70% or more of their Jews, Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Greece, Albania, Western Russia and Estonia. And Poland, the home to the largest population of Jews in Europe lost more than 90% of its Jews. As at most 210,000 Jews survived the Concentration Camps and only 700,000 were able to find a safe haven in countries outside German control (220,000 in Eastern Russia alone), we can assume that at least 35% of the remaining Jewish World War 2 Survivors were in hiding, giving us a number of at least 680,000 Jews in hiding. There was probably another 14,000 Jews fighting with partisan groups or in various other armies.

How was Europe affected by the Holocaust?
Europe lost the bulk of the Jewish population when the Nazis killed 6 million plus of them. Some escaped, some survived the concentration camps and some lived in hiding places and survived. A large bulk of them immigrated to the USA and Israel. It is easy to understand why they would leave since the Allies leveled much of Europe and there really was nothing for them there anymore. The population of Jews has risen in Europe and Israel but the largest population of them live in the USA. So Europe lost on on having millions of wonderful peope. The Germans denied knowing about the concentration camps and genocide. One of the Germans still alive today said they did know and they lied about not knowing about it. Sad.
