Jewish Refugees in Front of Ship at Haifa

(Original Caption) 7/21/1947-Haifa, Palestine-: Innocent victims of Britain's refusal to allow Jewish immigration into Palestine, these Jewish children seem unaware of the seriousness of the tragic plight facing their elders after leaving the illegal immigrant ship, Exodus of 1947, at Haifa. The ship, jammed with 4,700 homeless Jews, seeking a new life in Palestine, was seized by British naval units after a battle off the Palestine coast. The aged Jew, extreme left, weary from the ordeal of his endless journey,shows marked contrast to the youthful courage of the children.
