Event Note

The Jewish Virtual Library.org cites: "On the 27th of September 1997, a 78 year-old Israeli presented himself at the Clandestine Immigration & Naval Museum near the southern entrance to Haifa, bearing a wreath and a simple poem he had penned: "I salute the Af-Al-Pi-Chen and all her sister ships – including those that went down...for on Israel’s 50th Independence Day, each and every one should go down in history as an oniyah lochemet – an ‘embattled ship’ – whose battles contributed immeasurably to the establishment of the state."
"Chanoch Touner – a Polish Jew who had survived the Holocaust because he was mobilized into forced labor (as in the movie Schindler’s List ) – had come to pay homage to the ship that had meant to bring him to the land of Israel fifty years earlier, a 42 meter-long vessel called the Af-Al-Pi-Chen (Despite All)."
