In 1940 thousands of Jews were trying to flee Nazi persecution in
Europe. This is the little-known story of a group of 1,600 Jewish
refugees who, having escaped from Nazi-occupied Europe, were
refused entry into Palestine by the British in 1940 because they
were considered OillegalO immigrants. Their deportation after
landing in the Promised Land, Eretz Israel, was unique. As a
deterrent to others, they were deported to Mauritius, a remote
island in the Indian Ocean. They were detained in a Mauritian
prison until the end of the war and were deprived of all basic
human rights_even that of family life. This story sheds light on
the British governmentOs lack of understanding of the critical
problem of Jewish refugees at that time.
