"A fascinating, poignant, exciting and revelatory story, told dramatically yet subtly and meticulously, and filled with colorful and unlikely characters. Part travel writing, part investigative journalism, here is a swathe of world history told through the lives, tragedies, suffering and survival of a boatload of Jewish survivors." -- Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of Jerusalem "I could not put this book down. Moving, haunting and utterly fascinating, it tells a story of unlikely heroes who should be far better known: survivors, and those who helped them on their illegal journey to Palestine/Israel. Terrific."-- Rabbi Dame Julia Neuberger DBE "This is a story that needed telling and Rosie Whitehouse tells it with warmth, energy and empathy--the story of those who survived the greatest darkness, and dreamed of a new life in the light." -- Jonathan Freedland, Guardian columnist "Despite knowledge of the Nazi genocide, Holocaust survivors faced a hostile world of immigration barriers. Uncovering the stories of those who found sanctuary 'illegally', Whitehouse has written a thrilling detective story with ringing resonance for our times." -- Joanna Newman MBE, Association of Commonwealth Universities, historian of refugees from Nazism, "A remarkable story."--The Times "An illuminating, welcome addition to the literature of the Holocaust and its aftermath." --Kirkus "This is a story that needed telling and Rosie Whitehouse tells it with warmth, energy and empathy--the story of those who survived the greatest darkness, and dreamed of a new life in the light." -- Jonathan Freedland, Guardian columnist "A fascinating, poignant, exciting and revelatory story, told dramatically yet subtly and meticulously, and filled with colorful and unlikely characters.

Synopsis
Vividly traces the paths of Holocaust survivors who risked everything again to make a new life in Palestine., One summer's night in 1946, over 1,000 European Jews waited silently on an Italian beach to board a secret ship. They had survived Auschwitz, hidden and fought in forests and endured death marches--now they were taking on the Royal Navy, running the British blockade of Palestine. From Eastern Europe to Israel via Germany and Italy, Rosie Whitehouse follows in the footsteps of those secret passengers, uncovering their extraordinary stories--some told for the first time. Who were those people on the beach? Where and what had they come from, and how had they survived? Why, after being liberated, did so many Jews still feel unsafe in Europe? How do we--and don't we--remember the Holocaust today? This remarkable, important book digs deep and travels far in search of answers., One summer's night in 1946, over 1,000 European Jews waited silently on an Italian beach to board a secret ship.
