Read this: Of the estimated 8.8 million Jews living in Europe at the beginning of World War II, the majority of whom were Ashkenazi, about 6 million – more than two-thirds – were systematically murdered in the Holocaust. These included 3 million of 3.3 million Polish Jews (91%); 900,000 of 1.5 million in Ukraine (60%); and 50–90% of the Jews of other Slavic nations, Germany, Hungary, and the Baltic states, and over 25% of the Jews in France. Sephardi communities suffered similar depletions in a few countries, including Greece, the Netherlands and the former Yugoslavia. As the large majority of the victims were Ashkenazi Jews, their percentage dropped from nearly 92% of world Jewry in 1931 to nearly 80% of world Jewry today. The Holocaust also effectively put an end to the dynamic development of the Yiddish language in the previous decades, as the vast majority of the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, around 5 million, were Yiddish speakers. Many of the surviving Ashkenazi Jews emigrated to countries such as Israel, Canada, Argentina, Australia, and the United States after the war.
Now answer this question, if there is an answer (If it cannot be answered, return "unanswerable"): Of the large number of Jews living in Europe at the beginning of World War II, about how many were Ashkenazi?
about 6 million
Läs detta: Av de uppskattningsvis 8,8 miljoner judar som bodde i Europa i början av andra världskriget, varav majoriteten var ashkenazier, mördades cirka 6 miljoner – mer än två tredjedelar – systematiskt i förintelsen. Dessa inkluderade 3 miljoner av 3,3 miljoner polska judar (91 %), 900 000 av 1,5 miljoner i Ukraina (60 %) och 50–90 % av judarna i andra slaviska nationer, Tyskland, Ungern och de baltiska staterna, och över 25 % av judarna i Frankrike. Sefardisamhällena drabbades av liknande utarmningar i ett fåtal länder, däribland Grekland, Nederländerna och det forna Jugoslavien. Eftersom den stora majoriteten av offren var ashkenazijudar, sjönk deras andel från nästan 92 procent av världens judar 1931 till nästan 80 procent av världens judar idag. Förintelsen satte också effektivt stopp för den dynamiska utvecklingen av det jiddischiska språket under de föregående decennierna, eftersom den stora majoriteten av förintelsens judiska offer, omkring 5 miljoner, var jiddischtalande. Många av de överlevande ashkenazijudarna emigrerade till länder som Israel, Kanada, Argentina, Australien och USA efter kriget. Svara nu på denna fråga, om det finns ett svar (om det inte kan besvaras, återgälda "osvarbart"): Av det stora antal judar som bodde i Europa i början av andra världskriget, ungefär hur många var Ashkenazi?
