As of 2025, approximately 220,800 Jewish Holocaust survivors are still alive worldwide, living across more than 90 countries
. Their median age is around 87 years, with many being in frail health due to advanced age and the long-term effects of their traumatic experiences during the Holocaust
. The distribution of survivors is roughly half living in Israel (over 110,000), with the rest spread across North America, Western Europe, and the former Soviet Union
. The population is rapidly declining, with projections indicating that nearly 50% of survivors will pass away within the next six years, 70% within 10 years, and 90% within 15 years
. By 2040, it is expected that only about 21,000 Holocaust survivors will remain alive globally
. This decline underscores the urgency of preserving their testimonies and providing care and support to this vulnerable population
