On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, the global Jewish population stands at 15.8 million, according to data released Sunday by Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), a figure that remains below pre-World War II levels.
Of the total, about 7.2 million Jews, roughly 45% of the global Jewish population, live in Israel, while approximately 6.3 million, about 40%, reside in the United States. Together, the two countries are home to about 85% of Jews worldwide.

By comparison, in 1939, on the eve of World War II, the global Jewish population was estimated at 16.6 million, with only 449,000, about 3%, living in what would later become the State of Israel.

Distribution around the world​

Beyond Israel and the United States, Jewish communities are spread across several countries, though in significantly smaller numbers.

France has about 436,000 Jews, Canada 407,000, the United Kingdom 315,000, Argentina 168,000, Germany 126,000, Russia 120,000 and Australia 117,000.

Compared with data published two years ago, the Jewish population has declined in several countries. France saw a slight drop from 440,000 to 436,000, while Russia experienced a sharper decline from 132,000 to 120,000, nearly 10% over two years. Argentina also recorded a decrease, from 171,000 to 168,000.
In contrast, Canada saw an increase despite a rise in reported antisemitic incidents, growing from 398,000 in 2023 to 407,000 in the latest report.

Holocaust survivors in Israel​

According to the CBS, about 111,000 Holocaust survivors and victims of antisemitic persecution during the Holocaust era are currently living in Israel.
Women make up 63% of survivors, while men account for 37%.
Approximately 6% of survivors immigrated to Israel before the establishment of the state. About 30.2% arrived during the major immigration wave between 1948 and 1951, another 30.2% between 1952 and 1989, and roughly one-third, 33.6%, immigrated since the 1990s, mainly from former Soviet Union countries.

Aging population​

The data highlights the advanced age of Holocaust survivors.
About 37% were born between 1939 and 1945 and are now between 80 and 85 years old. Around 35% are aged 86 to 89, while approximately 28% are aged 90 or older.
Nearly half, 49.3%, are widowed, while 38.2% are married, 10.6% divorced and about 2% single. Of the married survivors, 18,700 are married to another survivor, meaning there are currently about 9,300 households in Israel where both partners are Holocaust survivors.

Where survivors live​

Around 95% of Holocaust survivors in Israel live in urban areas, with only about 5% residing in rural communities, a distribution similar to the general population.
About 42% live in large cities with populations exceeding 200,000. Approximately 7,500 reside in Haifa, 7,100 in Jerusalem, 6,000 in Tel Aviv-Yafo, 5,500 in Ashdod, 5,400 in Netanya, 4,700 in Petah Tikva, and about 4,600 each in Beersheba and Rishon Lezion.
The data, compiled using information from the Authority for the Rights of Holocaust Survivors, underscores both the global distribution of Jewish communities and the aging population of survivors, as the world marks Holocaust Remembrance Day.

That's one thing i don't understand about Holocaust deniers, how did jewish population get affected this much if there was no holocaust? Did they all die due to natural illness or something?

The whole thing is one big psych op. The real conspiracy is how many Germans did the Nazi kill.

You may have heard, but around the same time, their was a large scale global war going on. I get that the holocaust takes up a lot of your kinds time, but other things were happening in that time frame.

The numbers of the entire thing are incredbly messy and badly recorded. The death toll of the Holocaust has been the same since the 1970s... but after the fall of the USSR and the opening up of records in Eastern Europe they revised down the number of dead from most of the death camps in former Warsaw Pact, WITHOUT the actual numbers changing. That alone should set off alarm bells.

That said, one thing I never hear anyone mention (both Holocaust Historians and Holohoax Debunkers) is what exactly counts as a jew. Because the definition of a Jew for Nazi Germany wasn't just self reported like it tends to be nowadays in most of the west, it was literally a racial classification that was backed up by ancestry and physical characteristics.

Out of the top of my head they seemed to have a rule of at least 1/4 where one jewish grandparent made you Juden. How many polish people do you think might have had a single jew grandfather but where otherwise catholic? What about jews who had converted but were still ashkenazi race and had not been intermarrying with the locals for long? What of the spouses of jews who weren't jewish, did they get counted as a jew for the purposes of the Holobunga figures?

No one talks about this, because asking is seen as being the same as denial. It's why the "lol 6 million cookies baked" meme argument persists despite how dumb it is.

Yes, messianic jews were also killed. It follows modern rules i think, if your grandparent is a jew, you're a jew too.

You may have heard, but around the same time, their was a large scale global war going on. I get that the holocaust takes up a lot of your kinds time, but other things were happening in that time frame.

...You mean that most jews were killed in battlefield? Really?

So 40% of Jews live in the US, but it would be the very height of Anti-Semitism to suggest that they have an outsized influence on US geopolitical policy that seems to always benefit Israel in some way. All the best people say so, that's how you know it's true.

Well a lot of jews emigrated before, during, and after the war.
Of Germany's 500k jews before the war, 70% emigrated before the war began if you trust the census numbers.
Then there's how much you trust the census numbers.
There's one thing to deny any jews being killed, but you're not allowed either to suggest that what happened is that hundreds of thousands to millions of jews were sent to concentration camps because they were deemed dangerous by the state, then as the allies bombed European infrastructure back to the stone ages the collapse of the logistic network meant that food supply became an issue, with the German state creating a supply necessity that went army>german civilians>foreign civilians>allied POWs>soviet POWs>jews, with the jews and other undesirable prisoners being to low on the priority list that they would starve to death and die en masse from disease and malnutrition.
There's about two million prisoners in the US currently, how long do you think it would take before they start dying like flies if 90% of US railways and highways get blown up by some foreign power

Do you all view Igbos as Jews or nah?

You also have to ask, why haven't the numbers gone up that much? 70 years is 2-3 generations, and where did the 6 million jews living in Russia at the beginning of the 20th century disappear to? The religion demands at least 1 son and 1 daughter, preferably more. so there should be at least 22-30 million if each family had 3 children, and that's assuming they bred with other jews.

How do I know the numbers were affected, because they are being reported by ‘people’? Oh okay.

Israel is home to 111,000 survivors, nearly a third aged 90 or older
About 37% were born between 1939 and 1945

Wait, the Hall of Costs was 1941-1945, so you finna bouta tell me that 40,000+ were born in camps, and around that many more were taken there as infants, and survived?

Why do you assume each family had three children? Jews are highly educated and socially liberal, both currently and historically. Socially liberal and educated people don't have children.

You know those death camps, just straight up orgy town

That's some forbidden math. Didn't you learn not to do that in Holocaust class?

Not all of them are religious. The few Jews I know on a personal level are total degenerates, and none of them have kids. Doesn’t really lend credence to the theory that Jews are deliberately brainwashing goyim when they’re being mindraped just as hard. Unless it’s some eugenic thing? Idk.
