Yes. Most of the survivors who are still alive were young, in many cases very young, at the time of the Holocaust. Many years ago I met a woman who had been born in January 1945 at Auschwitz, in the camp, about 12 hours before it was liberated by the Soviet Army. Her parents were extremely lucky in that they had been sent to Auschwitz exceptionally late. Obviously, she had no recollection of the camp. She and her parents migrated to Britain in 1950.

One of the best known survivors still alive is Elie Wiesel.

There are numerous museums around the US where one can tour the history of the Holocaust. Most of them provide tours once or twice a month that include an opportunity to meet and listen to a Survivor. I visited the one in Detroit two years ago. The story was simple and very moving. He had watched his mother and little brother taken directly to the extermination portion of Aucshwitz while he went to the working side.

Yes, many, but their numbers are dwindling rapidly.
