On the other hand
More than 2,000 Holocaust survivors immigrated to Israel in the last 10 years, with 120 new immigrants since October 7, 2023, according to data released by the Ministry of Absorption and Integration ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day.
The ministry reported that immigrants have come from a wide range of countries, including former Soviet Union states, the United States, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada, Sweden, South Africa, Brazil, and Greece.
As of April 2026, approximately 111,681 Holocaust survivors are living in Israel, representing a significant portion of the remaining global survivor population. Of those, 40,136 immigrated as part of aliyah waves that began in 1989.
More than 200,000 Holocaust survivors have migrated to Israel since the state’s establishment.
Demographic figures indicate that 28% of survivors are age 90 or older, 63% are women, and 95% live in urban areas.
Minister of Aliyah and Integration Ofir Sofer said the country continues to serve as a home for the remaining survivors. “The State of Israel continues to serve as a home for the dwindling generation of survivors,” he said, adding that “every survivor who chooses to immigrate to Israel is a testament to the revival of the Jewish people in their homeland.”
