עמוד:79
Miep , Holland : No , I’ve never heard of them . What did they do ? Hadas , Israel : Where should I begin ?! ... Even before World War II broke out , they were active in the illegal immigration of Jews to Israel and they continued after the war ended , because even then the British didn’t allow the Holocaust refugees to enter the country ! They also tried to set up a Jewish army to fight the Nazis and worked to help establish the State of Israel ... And then , in the United States they also did something to save Jews ... wait a minute , I’m getting carried away ... do you want to hear another incredible story ? Miep , Holland : Sure ! Hadas , Israel : OK , so here goes . Miep , get ready to hear a great story ! The Shoah During World War II ( 1939-1945 ) , the Nazi Party ruled Germany . The Nazis persecuted the Jews and planned to kill them in Germany and in the countries they occupied . In spite of this , most of the free countries were not willing to offer the Jews asylum and they were trapped in Europe . Six million Jews perished in the Shoah , the catastrophe that Nazi Germany and its allies inflicted on the Jewish People .
