After
the Jews were liberated from the horror of the camps, they had nowhere to go.
People in Europe would call them displaced persons. Hundreds of thousands of
Jews had either survived or escaped the concentration camps and when a new
program took over to find the Jewish people homes, the head count was
1,200,000. This was both Jewish and non-Jewish survivors looking for a home.
Many of the Jews were left without homes. Countries wanted nothing to do with
the Jews and some were blocking off their borders to prevent any more from
coming in. The Jewish people found themselves at a loss until Israel claimed
its independence from England and accepted any Jews without a home. Germany
found itself on the bad end of the stick.
