The Bible provides substantial evidence that God promised the land of Canaan, including modern-day Palestine, to the Jews, with promises made to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their descendants. These promises were fulfilled through conquest under Joshua, accompanied by conditions for obedience and promises of return after exile.

The Holocaust, a period during World War II marked by the systematic extermination of six million Jews and millions of others by the Nazi regime, has left a profound impact on history. In the aftermath of this atrocity, Germany has taken various steps towards making reparations to the victims and their descendants.
