Summary:

Six million Jews of all ages, strata and affiliations were murdered in the Holocaust. The hundreds of thousands who escaped, whether by hiding or by joining the underground or partisan units and the few who survived the camps refused to return to their former homes. Those lands had become graveyards to them, and they could not face the prospect of resuming life in those countries. The very few who had survived the period of darkness, suffering and death and who had returned to their native cities and villages in Eastern Europe were received with anger and hostility. The survivors, unwanted in their former homes and weary of a life of tribulation and adversity, waged a stubborn struggle for the right to immigrate to the land of Israel. - p. 75, [79].
