If the Jews didn't die in the camps........ Where did they all go? Well over 3/4 of the Jews in The Netherlands were not there after WW2. Where did they go?
The World Almanac of 1948 recorded that the world population of Jews increased between 1933 and 1948 from 15,315,000 to 15,753,000. The International Red Cross, in a comprehensive report released in Geneva in 1948, concluded that approximately 272,000 concentration camp inmates died in German custody, about half of whom (according to the report) were Jews, almost all during the latter months of the war.
During that time period, there were massive migrations of people throughout Europe, many ending up in Soviet occupied territory by the end of the war, never to be heard from again outside the Iron Curtain. It's likely that separated sides of Jewish families assumed that those who were actually (unknown to them) on the other side of the Iron Curtain had been killed.
