Synopsis
What happened to the children of the Holocaust? When the war was over, their story was only beginning.
ediscover the unforgettable story of Ruth, a Jewish teenager orphaned by the Holocaust, who embarks on a long and dangerous journey to a new land and a new life.
When members of the underground organization Brichah find her, she joins them in their dangerous quest to smuggle illegal immigrants to Palestine. Ruth risks her life to help lead a group of children on a daring journey over half a continent and across the sea to Eretz Israel, using secret routes and forged documents―and sheer force of will.
Children today often assume that once the war was over, everything was “okay” again. They do not realize that anti-semitism continued unabated in Europe, and the Jews felt they had to make a place for themselves, by themselves. This story picks up at the point in history where Daniel's Story left off.
