Stories During WWII: Rescue Jews From Eastern Europe, North Africa, And The Middle East: Jewish Organization Joint

By Tracee Yaw

Many Jews risked their lives to save other Jews during the Holocaust, both on an organizational and an individual level, assisting with smuggling and hiding Jews, obtaining false documentation, establishing welfare societies, and even negotiating with the Nazis.

This book is is the story of the rescue of more than two million Jews from Eastern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East since World War II. It is the dramatic--and largely unknown--account of the numerous "exoduses" made possible by a remarkable clandestine alliance initiated from Palestine by Shaul Avigur, the mysterious chief of the original Mossad, and Joseph J. Schwartz, the imaginative leader of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. THE SECRET ALLIANCE reveals the vast covert intelligence-and-rescue network the Joint financed and the Mossad set in motion to organize immigration operations which led, argues Tad Szulc, to the birth of the State of Israel.
