From the BBC link above:

Some 127,000 survivors of the nuclear bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still alive.

From a recent Economist:

Today, 400,000 Jews who survived or fled the Nazis and their collaborators are alive.

After 75 years, so many and yet so few...

This sent me looking to see if the English subtitled testimonies from the video rooms at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park are available online. It looks like a few are, but only a few. (Or maybe I'm just good enough at navigating websites in a language I don't speak to find them.) Though, there are some related, if incomplete, efforts in the same direction. It also lead me to this rather hopeful news story.
