Abstract:

There are no precise data on Jewish population in the various countries. The figures presented below represent the best possible estimates for 1971. They are based in local censuses, communal registration, and local informants, and data obtained from a special inquiry during 1969 and 1970. Some figures were taken from previous volumes since there was no way of arriving at a valid new estimate. Under the present conditions, this is the only way a statistical summary of world Jewish population can be compiled.
