(The term "Holocaust survivor" is defined by the Registry of Jewish Holocaust Survivors as a "person who was displaced, persecuted, and/or discriminated against by the racial, religious, ethnic, and political policies of the Nazis and their Allies. In addition to former inmates of concentration camps and ghettos this includes refugees, people in hiding, etc.")
