After World War II, organizations like the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), Hadassah, and the United Service for New Americans (USNA) provided critical resources to help evacuate and resettle survivors who were living in displaced persons camps - camps that were often the very same prisons where they were incarcerated during the Holocaust. Hundreds of thousands of refugees came to the United States, Canada, Mandatory Palestine, and other communities around the world due in large part to the advocacy and efforts of these aid organizations to break past restrictive immigration quotas.
