Accepted answer

Generally, it used to divide the immigration to Israel into "waves"(free translation from Hebrew). during this year, 1939 to 1951, it used to include three waves:

  1. Aliya Bet(free translation: Immigration 2nd) during WW2 Included ~17,000 immigrants, most of them Europeans.
  2. Aliya Bet after WW2 Included ~85,000 immigrants, most of them Europeans
  3. The mass "Aliya" since Israeli independence(May '48) to 1951 Included ~650,000 immigrants from many countries; as Iraq(20%),Romania(19%), Poland(17%), Yemen(8%), Morocco(7%), Bulgaria(6%), Turkey(%), Libya(5%) and Iran, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Germany, Egypt, USSR, Yugoslavia(all of them 3% or less).
