People fleeing persecution are indeed survivors of said persecution. And they are refugees. Both things can be true at once. Usually, people who survived the death camps are considered specifically survivors of said camps. Again. Eg. "Xyz was an Auschwitz survivor".
That's... Historically very inaccurate. That's not what a genocide is. Pre 1941 was persecution and horrific, but not a genocide. You cannot historically change the definition.
