This survey was intended, in part, to estimate the number of victims of Nazism who are currently living in Ukraine.

If we consider all the elderly who suffered from National Socialism injustice at the time of Second World War, their number would be about 8.5% – 10.0% of people older than 70 years or 430 – 500 thousand people.
