Text: New Homeland

Text Panel

After World War 2, most of Europe’s Jews seek a new home. With no country to accept them, many wait in Displaced Persons Camps in the oppupied zones of the Allied Forces in Germany, Austria and Italy. From there they will eventually leave to places all over the world, hoping to find refuge and build a new life. Most of the survivors settle in Eretz Israel and North America. The rest arrive in other places around the world. This period coincides with the begining of a process that sees Jews leaving Muslim countries. Some emigrate willingly. Many others are expelled and forced to find a new homeland.
