Also fast Google says : Bat : 2180K results while bas : 45K Also AFAIK Bas is Ashkenazim while Bat will be world wide (Ashkenazim is a Jewish person origin in Europe or Us) > Can you come up with a less generic term than 'evacuation'?

Afaik it also had been done in England (http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/britain_wwtwo/evacuees_01.shtml) I don't know much about what happen in England but i can tell about what happen in the soviet union where factories , weapons , and finally people where evacuated to the far east (also to the north , KavKaz and more ). > How commonly used are the other terms?

Without hupa of his parents Jewish person in isreal have to prove he is a proper Jew (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_is_a_Jew%3F) I belive that Adding more then Catholic (based) events could only help.
