The events of the holocaust spanned the time from 1941 to 1945. That means that if someone were at least born during those years they could still be alive they would be at least 71 years old as of 2016. There are still plenty of people that age still alive as of 2016. There are even still some individuals who survived the extermination camps of the holocaust and were old enough at the time to still remember them - although their numbers are quickly dwindling as they pass away from old age.
