Jewish Immigration to Palestine

Barakha Habas, the author of numerous books, comments in this edition on the tragic events in the history of the Jewish community in Palestine that preceded the attainment of independence and statehood for Israel. Devoting his narrative to the people who organized the immigration of persecuted race members to this country, the writer tells of the truly heroic feats and hardships of this dramatic undertaking. Facing extreme dangers, inevitable arrest, torture, and executions, these young envoys of the yishuv made their way into countries under the control of Nazi Germany and other lands, connecting with those who sought to reach Palestine and organizing the "underground transport" of refugees to the shores of the Homeland, sometimes ending with the demise of the emigrants.
