Exodus

On July 11, 1947, Ariel and Daniel, orphans who survived the Holocaust, embark on the Exodus, an old steamship heading to the Promised Land with over 4,500 Jewish refugees. Led by Captain Yossi Hamburger “Harel,” their journey is abruptly interrupted by an attack from the British forces. Despite their resistance, the passengers are forced to surrender. This youth novel by Nicoletta Bortolotti tells the true story of the Exodus and the struggles of Holocaust survivors on their journey to a new life.
