Holland and Suriname (Dutch Guiana) approved colonization of 30,000 Jews. This number fell far short of the greater territorialist goal of settling the full 250,000 inhabitants of displaced persons camps in Europe. Also during the postwar period, the Frayland-lige reestablished itself in Poland and developed in Romania. In Romania, for example, a petition drive in support of territorialism collected 9,966 signatures in Iaşi and Dorohoi out of a combined Jewish population of 40,000 in those two cities (Astour, 1967, p. 636). However, by 1948, under growing Soviet influence, Poland and Romania forced the Frayland-lige to cease its activity.

In the Austrian displaced person camps, thousands of working-class Jews were readying themselves for Suriname. Zionist opponents, however, did whatever they could to thwart the efforts of the fraylandistn. By theend of 1950, negotiations with Holland and Suriname for Jewish colonization had collapsed and the project was officially abandoned in 1952.

Apart from several attempts at small-scale Jewish settlements in New Jersey and Argentina in the 1950s, the Frayland-lige remained active in New York and Paris, focusing mainly on nurturing the culture, values, and language of East European Jewry. In 1979, after nearly 30 years with almost no concrete territorialist activity, the organization, under the leadership of Mordkhe Schaechter, officially changed its name to the Yidish-lige (League for Yiddish).
