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 very fact that such an act happened is important for people to remember. We too often hear people say "something like that could never happen here or now." But similar events on a smaller scale are happening like this every year in many different countries. The very fact that some people still believe the Holocaust never happened is not only beyond belief, but another reason the Holocaust hold import and value for us today. The manipulation of facts, truth and reality is an ongoing matter we all need to be aware of. The impact of all the above just scratches the surface of the importance of the Holocaust. History can kill, and if you kill the true story of history, the true history can still kill.

At this time there was no state called 'Israel', but it refered to the people. The Holocaust changed the world view in that there was more sympathy for there to be a state for the people of Israel.
From Shmoop Literature on Elie Wiesel's NightWhen Elie Wiesel was liberated from the Buchenwald concentration camp in April 1945, he decided to wait for ten years before writing his memoirs of the Holocaust. Night is the story of Elie Wiesel surviving Nazi concentration camps as a teenager. The original Yiddish publication of Night was 900 pages and titled And the World Remained Silent. Despite low sales originally, Night has now been translated into thirty languages and has become a classic. Night is the first book in a trilogy - Night, Dawn, and then Day, probably referring to a transition in state of mind. That is, in this first book, he is in a state of darkness.
