ok tribes. here ya go- her words exactly as he sent them to me:

From United States Holocaust Memorial Museum website

With over 80,000 Jewish DPs in the United States, about 136,000 in Israel, and another 20,000 in other nations, including Canada and South Africa, the DP emigration crisis came to an end. Almost all of the DP camps were closed by 1952. The Jewish displaced persons began new lives in their new homelands around the world.



There are other estimates but what is clear is that the biggest number went to Israel. It’s hard to know precisely how many stayed in Europe since many were behind the Iron Curtain and we could never get a clear count. The estimate is that 250,000 survived as Displaced Persons [DPs]. There were certainly survivors who never went to the DP camps, e.g. in Poland, USSR, etc.
