Did you look at the numbers?
141,000 people in the city of New York are 85 plus years old.
10%+ of those people are holocaust survivors? No fucking way.

Jewish people make up 13% of NYC so the idea that they make up 13% of the 141,000 seems reasonable

Are you saying that every single Jewish person is a holocaust survivor?
The only way that would make sense is if 100% of Jewish people are holocaust survivors.

Sure, but for this to hold true, 100% of the 85+ year old Jewish population would need to be holocaust survivors, which just isn't possible. Being a Jewish person that was alive somewhere on earth during the years the holocaust happened does not make you a "holocaust survivor".
I'm not a survivor of the war in Ukraine, for example, just because I'm alive and living life completely unaffected on the other side of the planet.
