The Nazis rounded up Jews and sent them to special camps where they were killed.
The European Jewish population in 1950 was 3.5 million people in contrast to the 1933 European Jewish population of 9.5 million people (a difference of 6 million people whence the 6 million number comes). 2 million of the 3.5 million remaining Jews were in the Soviet Union.
The Holocaust decreased the world population by 6 million over the course of the genocide. After World War II, the Jewish population increased, but it has still not recovered to Pre-Holocaust levels.
compared to the total losses during the war, the losses in the Holocaust was but a small proportion.
they were released from the concentration camps but many had no food or place to stay so the U.S. brought in relief suplies for them.
About 12 million.
Before the war, and according to the world almanac, ""World Almanac, 1938, pg. 510 -- world jewish population = 15,748,091""After the war, "World Almanac USA, 1947, pg. 748: World Jewish Population -- 15,690,000"____The World Almanac was notoriously unreliable on this at the time and later revised its figures for the whole period 1938-1948. The real figures are about 16 million in 1939 and 10 million in 1945. See the link - scroll down to the section 'Jewish Population'.dear sir, I m new about studying Holocaust matter.I would like to ask you why the World Almanac is not notoriuosly unreliable on the period 1939-1946. I would like to know where did you get the statistic about jewish popupalation of 16 millions in 1939 and 10 million in 1945. How it's possible to determine the real popoluation of the jewish population between 1939 to 1945.I waiting for your kind reply.
The Danish resistance was very important because of the fact they had saved over 90% of their Jewish population. These actions also showed that when people fight for their beliefs it is much stronger than being alone. The resistors near the end of the war was almost 45,000 people.
Jews and those with enough Jewish ancestry to be designated a Jew according to the Nazis were required by law to wear one. The identifying yellow Jewish Star of David was used by the Nazis as a crude tool to single them out and isolate them from the rest of the population. It was intended to be a badge of shame so they would be mocked, ridiculed and shunned by non-Jews. Finally, it made it much easier for the Nazis to round them all up and send them to the death camps.
That notion is inaccurate. Nazi antisemitism was obsessive and hysterical, but the notion that the Holocaust itself was 'mass hysteria' is based on the mistaken assumption that the German population was howling for Jewish blood and the Nazi leadership obliged, so to speak. The Holocaust was not driven by the German population. It was driven by forces much higher up the hierarchy.
Germany was in a state of depression much like the united states in the 1930's, but the Jewish communities seemed to be doing better then everyone else in Germany so the nazi's found someone to blame the depression on which started to casue the hate of the Jewish people.

The Balfour Declaration does not say much. The only mention of the Non-Jewish Population in the declaration refers to the requirement that the laws and establishment of the Jewish homeland in Palestine should not prejudice the Non-Jewish population. In this regard, Non-Jews in the Jewish State should have equal rights and privileges.

The world population is not declining. World population 1950: 2,555,948,654 World population 2011: 6,919,191,862 Growth for period: 4,363,243,208 people
56% of the world's current population
5%
4,140,336,501 (60% of the world's current human population)
Possibly 15,000 (by comparison with about 525,000 when Hitler came to power).
Another species that eats the same food might decrease in population.
6.5 billion in 2010
It is estimated to be 6.80 billion.
about 55,000 or 7%
