    In which of the Nazi occupied countries during World War II was the largest percentage of the Jewish population sent to the Nazi death camps?

    Question #96705. Asked by Flem-ish. (Jun 17 08 3:52 AM)

    Poland.

    In total 85 percent of the Jewish population in Poland died -- some 2.8 million people. Only an estimated 11 percent of Jewish children who were alive in 1933 survived the Holocaust.

    An estimated 5.5 million other victims of Nazi atrocities --labelled "enemies of the German state" -- included up to half a million Gypsies, an estimated 10,000-15,000 homosexuals and 3 million non-Jewish Poles. Catholic and Protestant clergy also were sent to concentration camps as well as Jehovah's Witnesses.

    Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland was the largest and at least 1.1 million Jews were killed there before its liberation by the Red Army on Jan. 27, 1945.

    Poland lost the greatest number of Jews by far, but the highest percentage lost was from Latvia, which had once been a center of antihassidic Jewish communities and was left with only a handfull of Jews after the war.
