Earlier this week, the Claims Conference published Vanishing Witnesses: An Urgent Analysis of the Declining Population of Holocaust Survivors, a population projection report based the extensive data built up from decades of advocacy on behalf of survivors.
The report findings reveal stark projections for the time we have left with these eyewitnesses to the worst atrocity in human history. The full population projection report and analysis can be found at www.claimscon.org/vanishing.
In addition to the Vanishing Witnesses report, the Claims Conference’s global demographic report, Holocaust Survivors Worldwide: A Demographic Overview has also been updated for release in April 2025. The full demographic report on Holocaust survivors can be found at www.claimscon.org/demographics2025.
