5/23/2023 0 Comments Exodus book leon urisIf you’re a history buff, or if Israel has a special place in your heart, you will love learning about this naval museum. You get to board the actual ship that carried many Jews to Palestine and see what cramped and nearly impossible conditions they lived under. Originally a landing craft for tanks, the ship was converted into a clandestine immigration ship. If you’ve ever read the book “Exodus” by Leon Uris, this museum, film and “Af al Pi Chen” ship will make the book come alive. I am definitely pro-Jewish.1 As a result, Exodus is one book that can be justly labeled (without fear of sounding like Vanessa Redgrave) Zionist propaganda. The immigration is one of the cornerstones of the establishment of the State of Israel. Had the Jews not been able to persevere and outsmart the British, there might be no State of Israel today. These camps were not that dissimilar to the concentration camps in Germany many had just escaped. Many Jews were caught and placed in barbed-wire camps by the British. (1934 – 1948) Who knew the British were stopping Jews from immigrating to Palestine in order to placate the Arabs. It includes historic documents, newspaper clippings, photos, original models, audio visual materials and films and tells the story of the struggle to immigrate to Israel during the British Mandate. This museum covers a chapter in history which deals with Jewish clandestine immigration and the right to settle in Palestine.
