After the war, those that had survived the Holocaust were often afraid to return to their homes. They were afraid of anti-Jewish feelings. In some cases, Jews were attacked and killed or injured. They had survived life in one camp to end up living in another camp- one for DPs (Displaced persons). When the nation of Israel was formed, many looked at Israel as a place that the Jews could call home, and they moved there in large numbers.
At the time of the Holocaust, the nation of Israel did not yet exist.
The relationship between the Holocaust and the creation of the state of Israel is more complex than is often suggested. The Holocaust was one significant factor. Another was the British Mandate to rule the area was due to expire anyway in 1948 and the United Nations had to make a decision about its future.
At this time there was no state called 'Israel', but it refered to the people. The Holocaust changed the world view in that there was more sympathy for there to be a state for the people of Israel.
yes, in a sense. The modern state of Israel did not exist at the time of the Holocaust, Israel then only had one meaning: the Jewish people. Ie. all Jews were part of Israel.
NO, Israel was the name for the Jewish people. According to Judaism, when the Messiah comes, he will create a state which will be called Israel, it will be roughly where mortal gentiles thought that they had the right to call their state 'Israel', but this happened after the Holocaust.
Israel, and Germany paid reparations.
My Grandmother and Grandfather moved there after the Holocaust. They were Holocaust survivors.Prior to the Establishment of the State of Israel, the US pressured Britain to allow 100,000 Jews held up in Cyprus to Palestine. The overwhelming majority were Holocaust Survivors. Additionally, according to Israeli Statistics, between 1948-1952, Israel absorbed 373,852 Holocaust Survivors.
It was the State of Israel
The incredible barbarity of the Holocaust made the presence and lethality of Anti-Semitism painfully apparent to everyone in the world which allowed for Zionists and their supporters to more successfully advocate for a Jewish State in Israel.
The Allied powers encouraged the formation of the State of Israel.
a war broke out.
it is not, it was created before the modern state of Israel and looks remarkably similar.
