==== The Exodus from Russia ==== After the Holocaust, most Chabad chassidim who survived the war events and Holocaust left the Soviet Union for Poland, exiting Russia through Lvov. From Lvov they continued to various regions in Eastern Europe until they moved to Western Europe under American control and arrived at displaced persons camps in Germany and Austria. Most Anash settled in the Pocking DP camp in Germany and others in additional DP camps. The Jews who gathered in DP camps received material and spiritual assistance from the Frierdiker Rebbe and the Rebbe, who ensured that chassidim would circulate and awaken the Jewish spirit among the Jews there. The Frierdiker Rebbe and the Rebbe sent them books and religious articles, as well as minimal kosher food, which they couldn't obtain in the poor conditions that prevailed in the camps. The activities spread across many areas, and many Jews' Judaism was saved thanks to these activities.
