Woman Killed by SS
The Holocaust is the term generally used to describe the killing of approximately six million European Jews during the Second World War, through a program of deliberate extermination planned and executed by the Nazi regime in Germany led by Adolf Hitler How many Jewish victims were killed by the Nazis? It is difficult to estimate with precision. Yisrael Gutman and Robert Rozett estimate between 5.59 and 5.86 million Jewish victims of the Encyclopedia of the Holocaust (1990). There were about 8 to 10 million Jews in territories controlled directly or indirectly by the Nazis (the uncertainty comes from lack of knowledge about how many Jews there were in the Soviet Union). The 6 million killed in the Holocaust thus represent 60 to 75 percent of these Jews. 3.3 million Jews in Poland, more than 90 percent were killed. The same proportion were killed in Latvia and Lithuania, but most of Estonia's Jews were evacuated in time. In Czechoslovakia, Greece, the Netherlands and Yugoslavia, over 70 percent were killed. More than 50 percent were killed in Belgium, Hungary and Romania. It is likely that a similar proportion were killed in Belarus and Ukraine, but these figures are less certain. Countries with much lower proportions of deaths include Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Italy and Norway. Finally, among the 750,000 Jews in Germany and Austria in 1933, only a quarter survived. Although many German Jews emigrated before 1939, most of them fled to Czechoslovakia, France or the Netherlands, where they were later deported to their death. |

Re: Woman Killed by SS
