How many survivors of World War 2 was Jewish?

Answer 1

The exact number is unknown, and there are different definitions of Holocaust Survivor.

"When the war ended on 8th May 1945, it is estimated that there were around 200,000 Jewish survivors of the forced labour camps, concentration camps, death camps and death marches. Thousands of other survivors, who had been with the partisan groups, or in hiding, were also freed from Nazi control. The majority of those who survived were aged between 16 and 40 years old. The death toll continued to rise after liberation, with tens of thousands dying of starvation, disease, and the after-effects of malnutrition."

The Holocaust wiped out around two-thirds of the European Jewish population, or one third of the world Jewish population.

Answer 2

Worldwide there were about 16 million Jews in 1939 and about 10 million at the end of World War 2. Obviously, the number of people who were in actual danger of being sent to death camps and managed to avoid this fate is much smaller, and the number of Jews who were sent to camps but survived is even smaller. (Jews living in the U.S., Britain and other countries not under Nazi control should not be counted as survivors).

Answer 3

Over 6 million were killed, and I'm not sure if there is an exact number for the ones that survived, but I know it wasn't anything compared the amount that were killed.

Answer 4

500 from concentration camps and a known 356 was hiding, theirs a guaranteed that there was more Jews who survived but still in hiding
