The British White Paper of 1939, effectively banning all Jewish migration to the Mandate of Palestine, was still in effect after the Holocaust. It was not until the State of Israel was established that ships bringing Holocaust survivors to the area were legally permitted. However, during the Jewish-Arab Engagement of 1947-1949, the Israeli government lost control of the Old City and Jordan forcibly evicted all of the Jewish residents of the Old City. It would not be until 1967 and the Israeli reunification of the city that Holocaust survivors would be able to go to the Old City of Jerusalem.
