During the Second World War, the Jewish population of Europe experienced horrendous attrocitoes, accumulating as the Holocaust. After the war, the Jews did not want to return to where they used to live, so they fled around the world, in hopes that a place of safety could be discovered. By this time, Jerusalem and its surrounding area, called Palestine, were under the British mandate. Seeing as the Jews had nowhere to go, the United Nations began thinking of helping these displaced people.
