Almost 80 years after the Holocaust, about 245,000 Jewish survivors are still living across more than 90 countries.

在大屠杀发生近80年后,大约24.5万名犹太幸存者仍然生活在90多个国家。

A new report found that 49 percent of them are living in Israel.

Before the publication of the report, there were only general estimates about how many Holocaust survivors are still alive.

这份报告名为《全球大屠杀幸存者:人口统计概述》。

It says 96 percent of survivors are "child survivors."

报告称,96%的幸存者是“儿童幸存者”。

也就是说他们是在1928年以后出生的。

Information in the report is based on numbers collected up until August 2023.

报告中的信息是基于截至2023年8月收集的数据。

"The numbers in this report are interesting, but it is also important to look past the numbers to see the individuals they represent," said Greg Schneider.

格雷格·施奈德说:“这份报告中的数字很有趣,但同样重要的是,我们要透过这些数字,看到它们所代表的个人。”

Six million European Jews and people from other minorities were killed by the Nazis and their supporters during the Holocaust.

For its new report, the Claims Conference said it defined Holocaust survivors "based on agreements with the German government in assessing eligibility for compensation programs."

“犹太人索赔大会”在其新报告中表示,它对大屠杀幸存者的定义“基于与德国政府在评估赔偿计划资格时达成的协议。”

For Germany, that definition includes all Jews who lived in the country from January 30, 1933, when Hitler came to power, to May 1945.

对于德国来说,这一定义包括1933年1月30日希特勒上台至1945年5月期间居住在德国的所有犹太人。

The group deals with claims for Jews who suffered under the Nazis and negotiates compensation with Germany's finance ministry every year.

Since 1952, the German government has paid more than $90 billion to individuals for suffering and losses resulting from the Nazis.

自1952年以来,德国政府已经向个人支付了超过900亿美元,以弥补纳粹造成的苦难和损失。

The Claims Conference has also launched several educational projects to pass on survivors' stories to younger generations.

“犹太人索赔大会”还启动了一些教育项目,将幸存者的故事传递给年轻一代。

Gideon Taylor is president of the Claims Conference.

吉迪恩·泰勒是“犹太人索赔大会”的主席。

He said the data the group gathered "not only tells us how many and where survivors are, it clearly indicates that most survivors are at a period of life where their need for care and services is growing."

他说,该组织收集的数据“不仅告诉我们幸存者的人数和居住地,还清楚地表明,大多数幸存者正处于对护理和服务的需求不断增长的阶段。”

"Now is the time to double down on our attention on this waning population. Now is when they need us the most."

“现在是时候加倍关注这一日益减少的人口了。现在是他们最需要我们的时候。”
