well it really depends how old a person was during the Holocaust. say a baby 1 year old somehow survived a concentration camp they got into in 1940. that person would now be 69. however, considering the harsh conditions of concentration camps, odds are, not many people younger than maybe 6 could have survived.

∙ 12y agoThe total number of survivors of the World War II holocaust, Jewish or otherwise, may never be known, as many survivors went into seclusion or did not wish to discuss the tragedy, preferring to avoid any publicity. A brief search on the web indicates that even those who track both Nazis and their victims have a wide difference of opinion on the numbers. Given that children found in 1945 would be in their 60's, as of 2009, it is probable that many survivors are still alive.

As the Holocaust ended in 1945, there are now (in 2009) no survivors under the age of 64/65. Anyone hoping to interview a survivor for memories will need to look for people aged 75 or 80+.

See the related question, where the answer speaks of 200,000 survivors in 1945. What's more, it gives a source from a respected publishing house. (Obviously, one can easily boost the number of survivors by adding people who were never in much danger and to do so is highly miseading).

∙ 13y agoThere is no such thing as "average age of Holocaust victim". People of all ages were killed equally, though it is true that elders and children, who could not work, were often murdered at once, while young and middle-aged people were forced to work and subsequently died from starvation, exhaustion, tortures etc.

Are there any Holocaust survivors left in the world today?
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.

Very few Holocaust survivors from the extermination concentration camps are still alive. Most of the survivors were males.
