Sh'erit ha-Pletah

Sh'erit ha-Pletah (Ibrani: שארית הפליטה) adalah sebuah istilah Alkitab (Ezra 9:14 dan 1 Tawarikh 4:43) yang dipakai oleh para pengungsi Yahudi yang selamat dari Holokaus untuk merujuk kepada diri mereka sendiri dan komunitas yang mereka bentuk di Eropa setelah perang dan pembebasan pada musim semi 1945. Ratusan ribu korban selama menjalani beberapa tahun setelah pemulihan mereka di kamp-kamp orang terusir di Jerman, Austria dan Italia. Para pengungsi tersebut kemudian menjadi terorganisir secara sosial dan politik, mula-mula mengadvokasikan hak politik dan kemanusiaan mereka di kamp-kamp tersebut, dan kemudian hak untuk berimigrasi ke Palestina Mandat Britania, yang sebagian besar menjadi Negara Israel dimana mayoritas akhirnya menetap pada 1950.
