Israel is now home to half of the survivors, with 16 per cent in the USA, 17 per cent in Western Europe and 11 per cent in the countries of the former Soviet Union; 9 per cent live in France, which has the biggest survivor population in Europe.
Last year, the Claims Conference distributed around $530 million (£391 million) in compensation negotiated for survivors and around $960 million (£708 million) in support for home care, medicine and food.
Meanwhile, Joanna Millen, from North London, who was liberated from Theresienstadt at the age of three, told the Telegraph that antisemitism was “getting worse” here.
"Obviously I’m too old to move, but I think if I was younger, I would be considering leaving the UK,” she said.
“It’s a question of finding somewhere else, and there’s not that many places that you’d be safer than in the UK.”
