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.

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!
