well it really depends how old a person was during the Holocaust. say a baby 1 year old somehow survived a concentration camp they got into in 1940. that person would now be 69. however, considering the harsh conditions of concentration camps, odds are, not many people younger than maybe 6 could have survived.
whoever said there are no holocaust survivors is stupid or delusional or a stupid denier.
there's at least one holocaust Survivor still alive today and his name is eli Wiesel.
so i'm sure there are others.
The total number of survivors of the World War II holocaust, Jewish or otherwise, may never be known, as many survivors went into seclusion or did not wish to discuss the tragedy, preferring to avoid any publicity. A brief search on the web indicates that even those who track both Nazis and their victims have a wide difference of opinion on the numbers. Given that children found in 1945 would be in their 60's, as of 2009, it is probable that many survivors are still alive.

As the Holocaust ended in 1945, there are now (in 2009) no survivors under the age of 64/65. Anyone hoping to interview a survivor for memories will need to look for people aged 75 or 80+.

See the related question, where the answer speaks of 200,000 survivors in 1945. What's more, it gives a source from a respected publishing house. (Obviously, one can easily boost the number of survivors by adding people who were never in much danger and to do so is highly miseading).
There is no such thing as "average age of Holocaust victim". People of all ages were killed equally, though it is true that elders and children, who could not work, were often murdered at once, while young and middle-aged people were forced to work and subsequently died from starvation, exhaustion, tortures etc.
yep the holocaust survivor is still alive
Yes. Most of the survivors who are still alive were young, in many cases very young, at the time of the Holocaust. Many years ago I met a woman who had been born in January 1945 at Auschwitz, in the camp, about 12 hours before it was liberated by the Soviet Army. Her parents were extremely lucky in that they had been sent to Auschwitz exceptionally late. Obviously, she had no recollection of the camp. She and her parents migrated to Britain in 1950.One of the best known survivors still alive is Elie Wiesel._________There are numerous museums around the US where one can tour the history of the Holocaust. Most of them provide tours once or twice a month that include an opportunity to meet and listen to a survivor. I visited the one in Detroit two years ago. The story was simple and very moving. He had watched his mother and little brother taken directly to the extermination portion of Aucshwitz while he went to the working side.Yes, many, but their numbers are dwindling rapidly.
Yes she is alive, leaves in Vienna, Austria.
There are still some Holocaust survivors who are alive, like Lou Dunst for example. If you don't believe me then look him up or call his home phone. He is the sweetest old man I have ever met :) The Holocaust survivors go around the world and tell their stories. The Holocaust is also in all of our history books and online.
Yes, there is at least one. He is a friend of mine and he will be attending a reunion in April. The army will continue to hold these events while he is still alive. Bill Schardt
* There about 15 million Jews (adherents of Judaism) in the world. * By no means all of them are Holocaust survivors or descended from Holocaust survivors.
Only some Holocaust Survivors are still alive.
Yes, there are Holocaust survivors still alive.
Yes. There are still a number of Holocaust survivors with numbers tattoed into their flesh. However, as time marches on, the day is not far off when there will be no more Holocaust survivors alive to bear witness. I personally have met some Holocaust survivors with numbers tattooed in their arm.
The memory of the Holocaust is kept alive through memoirs, movies, documentaries, and survivors who continue to share their story.
One of the best known survivors still alive is Elie Wiesel.
350000___Where does that very high figure come from?If you look at the answer for the question, `How many Holocaust survivors?` you will see where the figure came from.You also need to date the estimate, as there are fewer Holocausts survivors every year. In 2012, there are probably only 260,000 Holocaust survivors left.
Very few Holocaust survivors from the extermination concentration camps are still alive. Most of the survivors were males. And as no children below the age of 12 survived the camps, all survivors must have been born earlier than 1932. This would make the very youngest of them, 84 years old, as of 2015.
Yes. According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum website, there are roughly about 195,000 Holocaust survivors as of this writing (February 2015). However, sadly, of course, these survivors are passing away quickly. All of them are quite elderly at this point. The very youngest survivors would be in their mid 70s now.
There are still 2 survivors living today.
As of 2016, no Titanic survivors are still alive.
