How many Jewish kids survived in World War 2?

Answer 1

The figure for the number of Jews who were killed in the Holocaust (or perished from starvation and disease in ghettos and camps) is agreed by most serious historians of the period and of the Holocaust as somewhere in the range 5.7 milllion to 6.0 million (or even slightly higher).

The figure of six million was originally given by SS-Obersturmbannfuehrer Hoettl in evidence to the Nuremberg Tribunal in 1946. Hoettl had worked closely with Eichmann and was well placed to give an informed estimate.

Later, figures were worked out by comparing pre and post Holocaust figures for the Jewish populations of the relevant countries (Germany, German-occupied countries and Germany's allies), making allowance for survivors, refugees and the small number who managed to hide successfully.

The figures have been checked again and again, and there is little disagreement about the overall total.

1. Many Jews perished in the severely overcrowded ghettos (walled in Jewish areas) established by the Nazis in Polish cities and elsewhere.

2. Many were worked to death on inadequate food.

3. Others were massacred in large-scale open air shootings.

4. Large numbers were gassed in extermination camps.

5. Especially in 1944-1945, many died from killer diseases, such as typhus, that swept through the hopelessly overcrowded camps that Jews were forced to live in.

Those Jews who were used as forced labour were registered by the Nazis, but generally no records were kept of those who were killed by gassing on or soon after arrival or of those massacred. For this reason it is difficult to be completely precise about numbers.

Answer 2

Full statistics for the tragic fate of children who died during the Holocaust will never be known. Some estimates range as high as 1.5 million murdered children. This figure includes more than 1.2 million Jewish children, tens of thousands of Gypsy children and thousands of institutionalized handicapped children who were murdered under Nazi rule in Germany and occupied Europe.

Answer 3

Theirs a known estimate of 750bpeople survived worldwar 2 and about 138 of them were children.

Answer 4

All of them, none could escape.
