The figures were compiled from more than 90 countries. The data shows that 50 per cent of these survivors live in Israel, 18 percent in North America, and 17 percent in Western Europe.
The data provides a present-day snapshot of the global population of Holocaust survivors. It includes total numbers, gender demographics, geographic distribution, and key figures relating to compensation and care.
