In the succeeding years of the Holocaust (1933-1945), the Hatikvah resonated throughout the Jewish world. To the astonishment of Nazis in the death camps, the Hatikvah was sung even outside the gas chambers.[5] The British military made the most famous recording of the Hatikvah, when it was sung by survivors of the Bergen Belsen Concentration Camp.[6] The Holocaust survivors onboard the famed American rescue ship, the SS Exodus, sang the Hatikvah as it pulled into the port of Haifa.[7] The British arrested he Holocaust survivors and returned them to Germany for reinternment in DP camps.[4]"מוזאון ראשון לציון – מוזאון לתולדות ראשון לציון". www.rishonlezion-museum.org.il.
