On July 18, 1947, American journalist Ruth Gruber stood on a wharf in Haifa as the Exodus 1947 limped into harbour. The evening before, this unarmed ship, crammed with more than 4,500 Holocaust survivors, had been rammed and boarded by sailors of the British Navy to prevent her desperate human cargo from seeking refuge in British controlled Palestine. Gruber rushed to the scene and began witnessing the events as they unfolded, ultimately spending the next several months pursuing the exiles from port to port on the Mediterranean. This gripping book contains Gruber's moving images and text, plus additional reporting on the wretched camps in Europe where the refugees lived before boarding the Exodus 1947, as well as details of many passengers' eventual fates. In this edition marking the sixtieth anniversary of the voyage, Gruber's masterpiece remains as stirring and unforgettable as ever.

Cr�ticas

Praise for Ruth Gruber "It is one of the most moving books I have read this year . . . no other writer we know of has given [the story of these displaced persons] such compelling form and clarity."--The New York Times, September 28, 1948 "Ruth Gruber's classic, Exodus 1947, is one of the outstanding books to emerge from World War II. It should be in every Jewish library."--Leon Uris, author of Exodus "This updated edition of Ruth Gruber's classic is most welcome. The desperate yet successful struggle of the Jewish people in the aftermath of World War II remains one of the most compelling stories of modern history."--David Wyman, author of The Abandonment of the Jews
