Description:One summer’s night in 1946, over 1,000 European Jews waited silently on an Italian beach to board a secret ship.

From Eastern Europe to Israel via Germany and Italy, Rosie Whitehouse follows in the footsteps of those secret passengers, uncovering their extraordinary stories―some told for the first time. Who were those people on the beach? Where and what had they come from, and how had they survived? Why, after being liberated, did so many Jews still feel unsafe in Europe? How do we―and don’t we―remember the Holocaust today?
