How many Jews were in Poland the Soviet Union and Germany before and after World War II?

In: Holocaust, European History [Edit categories]

Answer:

One needs to go back to the early 1930s as Jews began to leave Germany after the Nazis came to power.

1. Germany - pre 1933 - about 900,000 using the Nazi definition of one or more Jewish grandparents. At the end of World War 2 - about 20,000 plus an unknown number of half- and quarter Jews.

2. Poland - 1931 census - about 3.3 million; after World War 2 (in 1931 frontiers) - about 300,000.

3. Soviet Union (plus the Baltic republics) - pre war - about 3.1 million; after World War 2 - about 1.6 million.

The figures for the Soviet Union are less reliable than those for Germany and Poland.
