At the end of 1945, thousands of Jews who survived the Holocaust in Poland or Hungary immigrated to the West and many of them ended up in the Bergen-Belsen displaced persons camp, even though the British initially refused to grant them displaced persons status. In August 1946, there were over 11,000 Jews in the displaced persons camp. For a while it was the largest Jewish displaced persons camp in Germany. Between April 1947 and the establishment of the State of Israel in May 1948, 4,200 Jews immigrated to the Land of Israel legally from the British area, most of them from the Bergen-Belsen displaced persons camp. By March 1949, the population in the camp was reduced to 4,500 people. With the departure of the last displaced persons, the camp was closed in September 1950.
