Autumn, 1945. Europe is teeming with refugees, and Displaced Persons
camps have been set up as temporary shelters for the refugees on
their way home. Many of the Jews of Europe are the sole survivors of
their families. Most of this Saved Remnant live with the hope of
settling in Palestine, their ancient homeland, the Biblical Land of
Israel. Although Americas President Truman supported the return of
the displaced Jewish people to Palestine, the British, who governed
the country, allowed in only a fraction of those yearning to enter.
Many illegal Jewish transports tried to get there by any means
possible, including Jewish underground organizations. And sometimes,
illegal Nazi transports enroute out of Germany and illegal Jewish
transports spent the night under the same inns roof without knowing
of each others presence. Thirteen-year-old Hella desperately wants to
find her fatherher only relative who might possibly have survived the
Holocaustand to make a new life in Palestine. She hasnt seen him
since she was a young child. The miracle meeting of the two in a
displaced persons camp in Germany soon turns into a bone-chilling
drama when on their way to Palestine Hella discovers the man to be an
impostor, worse, a Nazi, who is using her as a prop for his own
escape from Europe. Terror soon takes the place of sorrow in her
heart when she realizes her position. Desperate, she sneaks away to
attempt to find a group of friends she saw in the area earlier and
travel with them. They are part of the Jewish underground. ** But now
she is hunted. Only her death will keep her fathers secret...and the
impostor well-knows her limited means of escape!
