We were the Exodus
by Jean-Michel Vecchiet (France, documentary, 2007, 80 min, Mat Films)
This documentary tells the story of the 4,551 Holocaust survivors who boarded clandestinely on July 9, 1947, from the port of S te to Palestine, arrived off Ha fa by the British navy, and rowed on three cages boats in the roadstead of Port-de-Bouc, in the south of France where the passengers stay for three weeks, refusing to leave despite the scorching heat, with a backdrop of close international negotiations. The film also tells about the cover of the largest wave of ill gale migration from the post-war era, the standoff between France and Great Britain, and the solidarity that is organized around the rifts. This pop e ach will foresee the end of the British mandate in Palestine and will lead to the creation of the state of Isra l. In the present of Jean-Michel Vecchiet.

A risky imp name Isra l, Zionism and the destruction of the Jews of Europe (1933-2007)
by Georges Bensoussan (d. du Seuil, January 2008)
For the common opinion, comfort and by the chronological proximity of the two events, the birth of the State of Isra in 1948 is an almost direct consequence of the Shoah. An essential link connects today, indeed, the Jewish catastrophe of the 20th century to the state of Israel, but this link is of a political nature and it is post rieur 1948. The memory of the Shoah long aroused an attitude of shame and rejection. Now, especially since the Six-Day Wars (1967) and the Kippur War (1973), and in contrast to the new man sought by Zionism of the founding fathers, the Holocaust occupies a central place in the construction of Israel’s identity. In the present of the author Georges Bensoussan, historian, editor-in-chief of the Revue d'histoire de la Shoah.
