Just before the Holocaust there were about 18 million Jews world wide, and about one third (33%) were killed in the Holocaust.
200,000 people survived
about 9%
Jews were transferred to Auschwitz mostly by train.
Of those who received numbers at Auschwitz-Birkenau, only 65,000 survived. It is estimated that only about 200,000 people who passed through the Auschwitz camps survived.
Atleast 140,000 Jews died at Auschwitz I.
Primarily it was European Jews (men, women & children) that were murdered, although it is likely that a small percentage of those killed were non-Jews.
Poland - of the 3,000,000 Jews in pre-war Poland only 200,000 or so have survived.
possibly, i know of at least one who survived Auschwitz.
Famous Jews who survived Auschwitz and have written about it in a published memoir:Ellie Friedman (I Have Lived A Thousand Years)Elie Wiesel (Night)David Faber (Because of Romek)Primo Levi (Surviving Hitler)If you would like to know how they survived, I would suggest reading their memoirs.
Many German Jews were sent to Auschwitz. Others were slaughtered in Belarus and the killing fields of Latvia.
Mostly Jews and Polish Jews
That depended on where the Jews were. About 90% of the Polish Jews were killed and an even higher percentage of Lithuanian Jews (95-96%). However, about 74% of French Jews survived.
Mostly Jews and Polish Jews
