(Jewish Group) The Holocaust: Countries With the Highest Percentage of Jewish Deaths

[Behind the Aegis]

According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, 6.6 million Jews perished in the Holocaust - some 63% of the 10.4 million in Europe at the time. Nazi Germany tried to impose its “Final Solution” - complete extermination of the Jewish population - on 22 of the nations it occupied or was allied with. The results of this attempted systematic slaughter of the Jews varied by nation. In some countries, the percentage of Jewish deaths nearly fulfilled the Nazis’ quest; in others, a combination of authorities flouting orders, refuge provided by sympathetic non-Jews, and good fortune prevented annihilation. (These are the countries that suffered the most civilian casualties in WWII.)

To determine which countries lost the largest portion of their Jewish populations, 24/7 Tempo sourced data from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Its information is based on estimates and cannot take into account the unknown number of Holocaust victims whose bodies were never recovered or for whom there were no records. Even though the Nazis kept detailed accounts of the people who passed through the camps, they destroyed materials related to the Holocaust in the closing days of World War II. The population data given below ranges from 1937 to 1941.

In nine of the countries on our list, the percentage of Jewish deaths exceeded 68%. Six of these nations were in Eastern and Central Europe, where collaborators or national auxiliaries worked with Nazi death squads assigned to execute Jews. (Many Jews were deported to one of these 25 infamous Nazi concentration camps.)

Read the fucking comments! This is why I believe another genocide against Jews is possible, including one on a grand scale because so many are Holocaust deniers....when it comes to Jewish suffering, and because the flip side is always braying with their "whataboutism".
