Although very few Jews lived through the Holocaust, some did. They were all either very lucky, or very strong people. of the 10 to 11 million people who began in the holocaust, only 100,000-150,000 people survived.

 1.In most of the camps discovered by the Soviets, almost all the prisoners had already been Killed, leaving only a few thousand alive—7,000 inmates were found in Auschwitz, including 180 children who had been experimented on by doctors. Around 60,000 prisoners were discovered at Bergen-Belsen by the British, 13,000 corpses lay unburied, and another 10,000 died from Typhus or malnutrition over the following weeks. The British forced the remaining SS guards to gather up the corpses and place them in mass graves.
