The ship was full of Holocaust survivors who had escaped inhuman treatment in Europe. Many of these refugees were taken prisoner by the British, while others were sent to live in barbed- wire detention camps in Cyprus or sent back to live in former concentration camps in Nazi Germany.

The Forgotten Refugees: An award winning documentary about the mass exodus of Jews from the Middle East and North Africa. The Forgotten Refugees, produced by The David Project Center for Jewish Leadership and Isra TV, explores the history and destruction of Middle Eastern and North African Jewish communities, some of which had existed for over 2,500 years. It chronicles the impact of the Arab Muslim conquest, the development of Judeo-Arab culture, and the modern rise of Arab nationalism that drove nearly a million of Jews from their homes and communities. Featuring testimony from Jews who fled Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Yemen, and Morocco the film explores the rich heritage of the Middle East's indigenous Jewish communities. Personal stories of refugees are interspersed with dramatic archival footage, including the mission to rescue Yemenite Jews. To learn more about the film, please visit www.theforgottenrefugees.com
Road to Jenin: Pierre Rehov’s film is much more than a review of the Jenin episode- it’s a good film to see for anyone who wants to understand this conflict, understand the mindset of the Israel Defense Forces, and understand the role of the media in the broader war against terrorists.
Christians in Peril: One of the most important aspects of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that has been overlooked is the plight of Christians in the Holy Land. Christians in the Palestinian territories have dropped from 15 percent of the Arab population in 1950 to just two percent today. This Christian exodus is a result of many factors, and this documentary explores the causes of the plight of Christians in the Middle East through interviews and exclusive footage.
