Over 15,500 Holocaust Survivors Died in Israel over the Past Year

  > Data also shows that 161,400 Holocaust survivors and victims of antisemitism during that period are currently living in Israel. So it's 9.6%. > The survivors' average age is 85.5, with about 31,500 of them over 90 and over 1,000 older than 100. > Sixty-one percent of the survivors are women, and only 10 percent of the total survivor population are currently married. Looking at https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html , the death probability in 2019 for people with 85 years was 9.5% for males and 7.3% for females. It would be interesting to do a more accurate calculation, but it looks like the death rate is slightly greater than expected, but not too much. And in 2021 covid-19 increased the death in all groups, specially old people. Sad news anyway.
