Abstract

Only three years after the fall of the Third Reich, the current State of Israel was created in the region of Palestine. Decades earlier, the Zionist movement was gaining strength in Europe, which aimed to reconstitute the region as a “Jewish home”, as it had been until the first century when the Jewish diaspora began after expulsion by the Roman Empire. Therefore, the present work aims to answer the following problem question: “what are the impacts of the Holocaust for the creation of the State of Israel and its national identity?”. For this purpose, texts evaluated by peers and available on the Google Scholar platform were chosen, in addition to some books by specialized authors. It constitutes, therefore, a bibliographic review article, of a qualitative nature. It is concluded that the Holocaust brought the international community closer to the Zionist cause, inclining the UN to resolve the impasse in Palestine in favor of the creation of a “Jewish State”.
