Almost 80 years after the Holocaust, about 245,000 Jewish survivors are still living across more than 90 countries, a new report revealed Tuesday.
Nearly half of them, or 49%, are living in Israel; 18% are in Western Europe, 16% in the United States, and 12% in countries of the former Soviet Union, according to a study by the New York-based Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, also referred to as the Claims Conference.
Before the publication of the demographic report, there were only vague estimates about how many Holocaust survivors are still alive.
Their numbers are quickly dwindling, as most are very old and often of frail health, with a median age of 86. Twenty percent of survivors are older than 90, and more women (61%) than men (39%) are still alive.
Fr tho some American Leftists ahem…Chomsky will outright deny the Kosavan genocide in my opinion because of the disregard for Slavic life that you mentioned.
The brown people of Europe in a way
Kosovars (Kosovo Albanians) are not Slavs.
Thanks for informing me! I was inspired to go browse the Wikipedia article on Kosovo and learn more.
Where does Chomsky deny it?
Chomsky ignores lessons of wars on Kosovo
I have no idea if this is a fair book review but it does at least explain where the claim comes from.
And, FWIW, it does chime with the blindspots of late Chomsky, and a particular flavour of ‘left’ anti-imperialism which has developed over the last 30 years. His political writing is valuable but the man is not infallible and, of late, he has been very much the man with a hammer who only sees nails.
