"A documentary depicting the plight of the survivors of the Holocaust in Europe following liberation in 1945 and their valiant struggle to reach the land of Israel despite the restrictive British immigration policy. Using authentic footage and recorded interviews, the film follows the refugees from the death camps, across the snow-covered mountain borders of Europe, on board rickety boats across the Mediterranean, only to face the British Naval Blockade and internment on Cypress, and finally to their arrival on the shores of Israel."
