Episode Details

When the Holocaust ended, freedom did not mean life could simply return to normal. In this episode of Everything Jewish: 10 Minutes at a Time, we'll explore the remarkable story of the Displaced Persons camps, where hundreds of thousands of Jewish survivors struggled to rebuild their lives while waiting for a place to call home. We'll follow the dramatic journey from the DP camps to the famous ship Exodus 1947, whose passengers became the center of an international political battle that helped turn world opinion toward the creation of the State of Israel. It's a story of survival, resilience, hope, and determination that begins after the war ends—because for many survivors, liberation was only the beginning of the next chapter.
