Synopsis

Of the expeditions led by Yossi Harel from 1946 to 1948, it was the voyage of the Exodus to Palestine that became a beacon for Zionism and a symbol to all that neither guns, cannons, nor warships could stand in the way of the human need for a home. The book honors this young Israeli who was motivated by the pleading eyes of orphaned children in Europe.
