לעולם לא עוד

This famous image depicts survivors of Buchenwald on board the ship “Unafraid” as they are about to be arrested by the British for trying to cross into Israel.  The British, at this point, were committed to keeping a quota to limit the amount of Jewish refugees allowed to enter Palestine.  And so, when this ship was discovered, the British announced they would take the refugees to a detention camp in Cyprus.  In response, they hoisted an Israeli flag and collectively sang “Hatikva,” Israel’s future national anthem.
