How many Jews survived in Poland?

Answer 1

Around 3 million Polish Jews were murdered by the German occupiers. It is estimated that there had been around 3.3 to 3.5 million Polish Jews in 1939. The Germans however used a different definition of what made someone a Jew; hence the 3 million killed could be out of a total of up to 4 million. It is generally held that 300,000 survived the Holocaust. Many emigrated to Israel and America after the war.

Answer 2

The widely accepted figure for Poland (prewar frontiers) is about 300,000 survivors out of a prewar Jewish population of 3.3 - 3.5 million.

After WW2, a further small number of Polish Jews who had survived the Holocaust were killed in 1944-1946 by robbers as well as by Polish nationalists who regarded them as sympathizers of the Stalinist security apparatus.
