Event Note Robert O'Donnell Nicolai cites "The refugees covered every inch of space. Sleeping quarters were any place they could find that was long enough to lie down on ... there was very little complaining. You can't help admiring people like that. They wanted water, and couldn't get it; they wanted the sunny side of the deck, couldn't get that because it was jammed. There were many professional men in the party: doctors, dentists, engineers. In Europe all they had to look forward to was digging ditches or building roads. In Palestine, they were going to begin life all over again." |
