Exodus - The ship that won

The first ship for which they operated under the new policy was the "Exodus from Europe" (Exodus). To lead them back to Europe, to Germany.The stubborn struggle of illegal immigration that culminated in the "Exodus" contributed its share in the United Nations decision on the division of the Land of Israel and the establishment of the Jewish state.
