No one can speak with certainty of the figures, but it is most likely that four to five hundred thousand European Jews survived the German occupation in the years 1939-1945.  These fell, generally into three categories: the some 75,000 who had survived  the camps; those who had lived in hiding or on false identity papers; those who survived in the woods  fighting with partisan and guerilla groups……the United States took in the second largest (after Israel) in the 92,000 or so Jews admitted during the post-war period, 1945-1951.
