"The number of Jews who perished in horrendous circumstances under Nazi rule, according to IHR and a leading newspaper of neutral Switzerland, the daily Baseler Nachrichten is no more than 1.5 million European Jews."
Wait! ... "Israel's foreign relation policy and U.S. support for Israel isn't justified because only 1,500,000 Jews were cruelly uprooted from their homes, forced into overcrowded ghettos and deported to concentration camps.
IHR is pathetically misinformed and keeps us dangerously close to World War III with their "global struggle for truth, freedom and peace."
Where were the Jews supposed to go after the war?
Following World War II the Jews, newly liberated from the Nazi concentration camps run by the Germans, find themselves in "displaced persons camps" run by the British.
[From Displaced Jews in Europe - Migration Following World War II in Europe - 1945-1951]
As the Allies were taking Europe back from Germany in 1944-1945, the Allied armies "liberated" the Nazi concentration camps. These camps, which housed from a few dozen to thousands of survivors, were complete surprises for most of the liberating armies. The armies were overwhelmed by the misery, by the victims who were so thin and near-death. A dramatic example of what the soldiers found upon liberation of the camps occurred at Dachau where a train load of 50 boxcars of prisoners sat on the railroad [tracks] for days, as the Germans were escaping. There were about 100 people in each boxcar and of the 5,000 prisoners, about 3,000 were already dead upon the arrival of the army.
Thousands of "survivors" died in the days and weeks following liberation, the military buried the dead in individual and mass graves. Generally, the Allied armies rounded up concentration camp victims and forced them to remain in the confines of the camp, under armed guard.
Although the Jewish refugees had no place to go after the war, IHR maintains the survivors should not have been allowed to immigrate to Palestine because the Nazis didn't kill enough of them.
