Wartime views on Jews in post-war Europe: a cool reception at best

How did World War II authorities in Europe, the UK and US consider what should be the postwar fate of Europe's surviving Jews?

Poland's Government-in-Exile, right-wing elements in France, Czech leaders and Communists revealed varying degrees of anti-Semitism, while US Jewish organisatiions adopted an increasingly pro-Zionist stance.
