Summary
Through the extraordinary stories of passengers on board the Josiah Wedgwood, Rosie Whitehouse explores the mass exodus of European Jews after the Second World War. The People on the Beach is a journey through history to places where Jews had lived for generations, the camps where they suffered, and the forests where they took up arms. Whitehouse follows the survivors' routes out of Europe, leading her to those still alive in Israel--some of whom tell their stories for the first time.
Who were those people on the beach? Where and what had they come from? How had they survived? And why, after being liberated, did so many Jews still not feel free in the lands of their birth? This remarkable and important book digs deep and travels far in search of answers, to questions more important today than ever.
