This essay focuses on the changes of Jewish identity after World War II and the migration of Hungarian Jews to Israel (Palestine) between 1945 and 1949. In order to understand their motivations it is important to put into context their life before and after the war, to know general trends and personal issues of migration, especially their social situation and their age distribution. Besides, we need to take into account the life of migrant Hungarian Jews in Israel (Palestine), the successful or unsuccessful integration, focusing on personal cases and stories. A part of the people who survived the Holocaust and World War II in Hungary or in the camps decided to leave their home country. Among the causes of this decision we can find the loss of the family, of movable and immovable properties, the situation of discrimination, the deprivation of Hungarian citizenship and the growing dictatorship. We can say something was broken in the Hungarian identity of the people who took part in this migration process. After the migration to the new country and the building of their life in Israel, all Hungarian Jews had different ways of life, but we can say, most of them still had connections with the Hungarian culture and identity. This has continued to the present day. It is useful to highlight important facts of the history of this migration, based on human personality and the actions of people. Sometimes it is hard to separate personal matters and general issues, since this subject is very tangible, and the objective and subjective views can be twisted. It is just because of these difficulties, and because of the lack of research and publications in this field that the work with this subject is more interesting and exciting
