List of Holocaust survivors

There are many Holocaust survivors who went on to achieve a measure of objective notability. Those listed here were, at the very least, residents of the parts of Europe occupied by the Axis powers during World War II who survived until the end of the Holocaust (and the war). The majority of the survivors on this list lived through the war in Nazi concentration camps.
