    Hey, I assume you are referring to Jews (not Jewish - the way you phrase this is insulting) who survived the Holocaust?

    If so I believe approximately 88% died.

    As I recall - it is estimated that close to 90% of approximately 3.5 million pre-war Polish Jews perished. Thus only some 350,000 Polish Jews survived the Holocaust.

    During the Holocaust, 6 million Jews were brutally murdered by the Nazis.

    Agreed - but the question is how many Polish Jews (specifically) survived. Do you have that info?

    If one takes Poland's pre-war borders, there were about 3.3 million Jews. About 10% of these survived - in other words just over 300,000.

    ( I took this answer from WikiAnswers - I don't take responsibility if it's not accurate)

    If you got this from Wikianswers please post the site - I realize you are new but that's how it works. Then "we" go to that site, review the info for correctness and respond if necessary. All sorts of info is floating out there, not all of it accurate.

    I did post the website. The website is called WikiAnswers.com. If you wanted to look at the website, you can just go to WikiAnswers.com and type in the question. If you didn't know that WikiAnswers was a website, you could have typed in WikiAnswers on Google.com. Doesn't really take a genious to figure that out, does it? And just because I'm new, doesn't mean a thing. I'm not stupid. WikiAnswers doesn't post its sources, so how were you going to check its "correctness"? I realize that there is a lot of garbage floating around on the internet and if someone were to state as fact that there was over 300,000 Jews left in Poland after the war because of my post, then I don't want to take that responsibility.

    You are new here, being new you are probably not aware of some of the rules we have. So I would suggest you review the rules here. When you cite something from a website, we prefer that you paste a link to the exact page where you found the info. That's all that Judy is saying (and correctly so). There is no need for you to get huffy about it.
