Reply to comment by westbee in Volunteers deliver thousands of free Hanukkah meals to Holocaust survivors in New York City by AmethystOrator

The youngest children would be around 78 or 79 so some might be in their early 80s. Given that - from the figures I found, there are approximately 1.6 million Jews in New York, and in the general population about 2.7 people are 80 or older - this amounts to around 30K people. So, I could easily see that they could feed thousands of survivors in New York.

With that math and logic, I can deduct that the population of Michigan has about 1% of people who came from California.

1% would be 100,000 people so I could easily see there being "thousands" of shark bite survivors.

If there were a period in history where 100% of Californians who got into the ocean were bitten by sharks, of course.

The holocaust did not affect 100% of the global Jewish population.

Well that's what is being said.

If you are 85 years or older, Jewish, and live in NY... you are a holocaust survivor.
