Many of the sources posed problems concerning numerical data on immi gration, especially for the months leading up to the end of the British Mandate, January-April 1948, and the first few months of the state, May August 1948. The researchers point out that 7,574 immigrant data cards are missing from the records and believe this to be due to the 'circumstances of the times'. Records are complete from September 1948 onward, and an important population census was held in November 1948. A parallel record ing system conducted by the Jewish Agency, which continued to operate after that of the Mandatory Government, provided us with statistical data for immigration during 1948-9 and made it possible to analyse the part taken by the Holocaust survivors.

Zippora Hochman
Zippora Hochman Zippora (Olga) Taub was born in 1925 in the town of Bački Petrovac in northeast Yugoslavia to her parents, Viktor and Clara. In 1941, when the Germans occupied Yugoslavia, her father was recruited to the army as a veterinary for the cavalry battalion. Several weeks later, he was captured by the Germans and sent to a prisoner of war camp in Germany. In March 1944, with the German occupation, the Jews were ordered to wear a yellow star. About three weeks later Zippora, her mother and brother Michael, 8 years younger than her, were sent to the ghetto in the city of Baja, Hungary. About one month later, in May 1944, the family was deported to Auschwitz. Upon arriving at the camp they were separated. Zippora became an inmate of the camp and her mother and brother were sent to the gas chambers. After a few weeks in Auschwitz Zippora was sent, together with another 200 women, to the town of Reichenbach in Germany, where she was placed at a factory that manufactured submarine parts. In March 1945, after the factory was bombed, Zippora was transferred to the town of Parschnitz, where she was put to work digging anti-tank ditches. In early May 1945 the Russians liberated the camp. After liberation, Zippora travelled to Bratislava, where she recovered in a building belonging to the Jewish community. She then learned that in March 1945 her father had returned from the prisoner of war camp. Zippora returned to her original town and met her father. Of the approximately one hundred Jews who had been living in Bački Petrovac before the war, only eleven survived.

The plan relates to existing and future discoveries. In accordance with preparation guidelines, the plan is enabling and flexible, and includes the possibility of applying a variety of natural gas treatment methods that combine a range of mixes for offshore and onshore treatment, in view of the fact that the plan is being promoted as an outline plan to accommodate all future offshore gas discoveries, such that they will be able to supply gas to the transmission system. This policy has been promoted and adopted by the National Board, and is reflected in its decisions. The final decision with regard to the method for developing and treating the gas will be based on the developers' development approach, and in accordance with the decision of the governing institutions by means of the Gas Authority. In the framework of this policy, and in accordance with the decisions of the National Board, the survey relates to a number of sites that differ in character and nature, divided into three parts: 1.
