Flight and Rescue: Bricha

This fully documented history of the mass movement of almost 3000,000 Jewish survivors of the Holocaust is an exodus narrative for our times that reads like a modern detective story. Starting in 1944, after their liberation from the Nazis, thousands of Jewish families began to move out of Eastern Europe in the largest spontaneous and illegal migration in recent times.
Based on official archives in Israel as well as on interviews and privately held records, Brichah is a story of great personal exploits, fantastic organization, and tenacity, as well as the chronicle of a great historical event.
