Escaping the Holocaust Illegal Immigration to the Land of Israel, 1939-1944

Illegal Jewish immigration to Palestine prior to the founding of the State of Israel forms one of the most fascinating chapters in the history of Zionism and modern Jewish history. Bringing Jews from Europe to Palestine by land and by sea in defiance of restrictive British immigration policies was partly an undertaking of national rescue and partly a calculated strategy of political brinkmanship. Ofer focuses on this important phase in the history of the Holocaust.Ofer, Dalia is the author of 'Escaping the Holocaust Illegal Immigration to the Land of Israel, 1939-1944' with ISBN 9780195063400 and ISBN 0195063406.
