Today, only about 1,500,000 Jews live throughout Europe. Prior to the Holocaust, the Jewish population was well into the double digits (perhaps about 15,000,000). 6,000,000 Jews perished due to the Holocaust, which significantly dropped the Jewish population in Europe. Most of those who survived migrated to other countries (mainly the US or the UK), and later to Israel (once it existed in 1948). Prior to the Holocaust, the majority of Jews lived in Eastern Europe and Central Europe. The European countries that had the largest Jewish populations included Poland, Russia, France, Germany, etc. However, these countries did not necessarily have the largest number of Jews who fell victim to the Holocaust. Today, the majority of Jews live in Western Europe. The European countries with the largest Jewish populations are France, Russia, the UK, and Germany.
