worked to save Polish, Slovak, and Hungarian Jews.
United States: Va'ad ha-Hatsala was established to
save orthodox Jews and European Rabbis
France: Oeuvre de Secours aux Enfants, Eclaireurs
Israelites de France, and Mouvement des Jeunesses
Sionistes worked to hide and transport children after
the war.

How were Jews Helped?

Great Britain: Movement for the Care of Children helped European Jewish
children travel and get shelter. This became known as Kindertransport
because the children were unaccompanied
According to www.ushmm.org, After World War II, the Jewish Brigade
Group and former partisans organized the Brihah, the mass exodus of
250,000 refugees to Palestine. The American Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee and the Jewish Agency of Palestine provided substantial aid to
Holocaust survivors in displaced persons camps.
The Youth Aliyah and Jewish Agency in Jerusalem worked together to
bring unaccompanied children to Palestine and Britain between 1933 and
1941
