Are there Jews still alive with numbers on their arms?

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.

Why were the jews stamped with a number on their arms in the concentration camps?

Jews, and many non-Jews were tattooed during the Holocaust in order to identify each individual. It was Hitler's way of keeping tabs on it's population through the selection process, (ridding Germany of undesirables like Jews, Gays, etc.). Each number had it's significant meaning, for example: 01234567. The "0" was possibly the persons RACE. Number "1" meant the person was good for LABOR. Number 2 meant the person's religion, and 3 possibly meant the person is headed for the GAS chambers. It was a simple system but needed a state-of-the-art managing mechanism. That mechanism was developed by IBM, (Industrial Business Machines). The only way to identify an individual was to check the Tattoo, on the persons arm, and compare it to the "Punch Cards", developed by the Nazis and with help from the U.S. Today, our Government is using more advanced identification for it's population.

What was tattooed on each Jews left arm?

It was not on the arm of each Jew. It was not even a thing reserved for Jews. It was also not always on the arm. It was a thing specific to Auschwitz. Each 'permanent' inmate there would have their number tattooed, Auschwitz was in operation for about a year before Jews were taken there. (Permanent meaning that they did not have a release date specified).
