Did the Holocaust start in Israel?
yes, in a sense. The modern state of Israel did not exist at the time of the Holocaust, Israel then only had one meaning: the Jewish people. Ie. all Jews were part of Israel.
How was the creation of the state of Israel affected by the events of the holocaust?
The relationship between the Holocaust and the creation of the state of Israel is more complex than is often suggested. The Holocaust was one significant factor. Another was the British Mandate to rule the area was due to expire anyway in 1948 and the United Nations had to make a decision about its future.

How many Holocaust survivors moved to Israel after the Holocaust?
My Grandmother and Grandfather moved there after the Holocaust. They were Holocaust survivors.Prior to the Establishment of the State of Israel, the US pressured Britain to allow 100,000 Jews held up in Cyprus to Palestine. The overwhelming majority were Holocaust Survivors. Additionally, according to Israeli Statistics, between 1948-1952, Israel absorbed 373,852 Holocaust Survivors.

What nation was created just for the Jewish people after World War 2?

Did the US send a lot of Jews to Israel?
No, at least not from a governmental position. The United States, unlike many countries, has never forcibly deported its Jewish citizens or put them in a social, political, or economic climate where leaving the United States was the only viable option. On the flip side, the United States has never incentivized (monetarily or politically) for American Jews to go to Israel. The only Jews that America assisted to get to Israel were a small minority of Holocaust survivors. Most Holocaust survivors who did get to Israel did so without American assistance. While there are many American Jews in Israel, this is more of a function of how many Jews in the world there are in total after the Holocaust destroyed much of European Jewry. There are larger Israeli communities of Russian, Moroccan, and Iraqi Jews than American Jews.
Did the Holocaust make the surviving Jews better people?
No. This is the first time I have heard this suggestion, and I believe it would puzzle Holocaust survivors. I agree with the above answer, the holocaust was not a child getting spanked. It was massive murder of millions of men, women & children. If your entire family & all you friends had been murdered, would that make you a better person? I think it did make the Jews stronger. During the holocaust, the Jews followed the Germans orders like lambs being lead to slaughter. When the war was over, the Jews realized they were without a real home and most of them decided to go back to the Middle East. There they fought the British and the Palestinians that lead to formation of the State of Israel. If they had not suffered the hardships of the Holocaust, I do not believe Israel would be a nation now.
