Most surviving Jews desired to emigrate to Palestine. The agency planned to send six groups of six men each to help Jews in German camps. The military authorities and Unrra had already agreed to this principle. It w r as planned to erect a monument on the summit of Mount Scopus to commemorate Jews who died. It would bear the names of all 6,000,000, including soldiers, partisans and ghetto fighters.
