It’s 1946, just after the Second World War. For the few who survived the Holocaust, only one hope remains that of reaching the Land of Israel. From all over Europe and North Africa, Jews head for the Mediterranean ports to try and embark on ships leaving for Palestine. But during the trip, the British navy intervened to block these wouldbe emigrants, sending them to a camp on Cyprus. A little-know period of history, events in Palestine from 1945-1948 laid the foundations for the Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East. The emigration was organized like a full-blown military operation by Hagana, the forerunner to Mossad, to find a way to this land that had been promised for so long.
