At a Time that Every Jew in Europe faced Certain Death, the British Refused Entrance into Palestine

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">TFJ Series 1 Episode 37 - The Birth of Israel </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When the British refused to allow 10,000 Jewish children to escape Europe and come to Palestine, it could not be that that they did not understand that barring their entry meant subjecting them to their annihilation. Images from Kristallnacht had been broadcast across worldwide media. And still Britain issued the White Paper agreeing to all of the Arab demands meaning that there would be no haven in Palestine for Jews fleeing for their lives and that the home for the Jews promised in the Balfour Declaration could not be realized. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">TFJ examines the plight of three doomed ships from this period which vividly highlight that Jews had nowhere in the world to escape to and the establishment of a Jewish state was a matter of life and death. As the British were unconcerned about this reality, Palestinian Jewry, most notably the Haganah, the precursor of the Israel Defence Forces, worked to smuggle in what the British deemed illegal immigrants. If they were caught, the British, ironically, like the Nazis, placed them in camps behind barbed wire. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A<span style= "font-size: 12pt;">udio Credit:</span></span> <span style= "font-size: 12pt;">The Doomed Voyage of the St Louis Documentary, History Channel </span></p> <div id="info" class="style-scope ytd-video-primary-info-renderer">  </div> <div id="info" class="style-scope ytd-video-primary-info-renderer"> <p style="background: white;"><span style= "font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #22242f;">Learn more at TellerFromJerusalem.com </span></p> <p style="background: white;"><span style= "font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #22242f;">Don't forget to subscribe, like and share!
