Wiki says 78% but then it also says between 60-75% of European Jewry was annihilated. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/history.html says two thirds of European Jewry. This is a number I have heard before in college so I'm guessing it's more or less accurate. Of course without knowing the exact numbers of Jews who died in the Holocaust it is difficult to say for sure.

∙ 14y agoIn 1939 there were about 9.4 million Jews in Europe, in the sense of members of Jewish congregations. The Nazis also treated people of Jewish origin as 'full Jews' if they had three or four Jewish grandparents.
The Auschwitz Museum estimates that an absolute minimum of 1.1 million people were killed at Auschwitz, of whom about 90% were Jews.
.99 million/9.4 million = 10.5%. With a Nazi definition of Jewish, one ought probably to bring the figure down a little. However, since all these figures are approximations, I'd suggest 'about 10%'.
