  =After The Holocaust = back

After the Holocaust and World War II came to an end, adults and children who survived both these tragedies had to take time and work on rebuilding their lives. There were about 1,200,000 Jews looking for homes and shelter and more than 137,000 people who survived fled to the United States of America to start a new life. And for the rest, they just got out of Europe and immigrated somwhere different away from their horrible memories. They were able to home about 1,000,000 of them and for the rest they were found dead from mobs or from lack of thirst and exhaustion. About 100,000 of the Jews traveled to their Palestine, looking for freedom there.

 After these two horrible tragedies, it wasn't just happily ever after. Children were in orphanages waiting for their parents to come and find them. Some found their parents, but some were left in orphanages till they were old enough to live on their own. Some people were nice enough to help children find their families, and that's how most got home. The times were definetly going through change after these tragedies, and life would never be the same.
