During the Holocaust, approximately six million Jews were killed. In France, the Jewish population had decreased by 140,000 individuals between 1939 and 1945. It then increased between the end of World War II and the 1970s, reaching 530,000 individuals in 1970. However, according to the source, the number of Jews in France has declined by more than 15 percent between that period and 2020, and is now estimated to be 442,000.
