Marking the 60th anniversary
of the establishment of the State of Israel, Yad Vashem is proud to
present this handsome album portraying the dramatic story of the
integration of many thousands of Holocaust survivors into Israeli society.
The book lauds their courage and deeds in all spheres, with hundreds of
photographs, literary and artistic selections, forming a journey through
time – from the days of the "illegal" immigration, the ships, the
detention camps in Cyprus and Atlit – and a journey through Israeli
identity. Contemporary Israel bears the indelible stamp of the "surviving
remnant" of world Jewry who helped create the State and make it what it is
today. |
