Category:Immigrants of the Fifth Aliyah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This category contains immigrants of the Fifth Aliyah, which occurred from 1929 to 1939. The onset of racial persecution in Nazi Germany led to a mass migration between 1933 and 1939, with at least 55,000 Jews from Central Europe immigrating to Palestine or residing there as semi-permanent residents. Although the 1936–1939 Arab riots in Mandatory Palestine slowed the immigration somewhat, fears of Nazi persecution outweighed these concerns. As a result, the total number of arrivals reached between 225,000 and 300,000 Jews.
