More than 4,500 Jewish displaced persons and Holocaust survivors sailed from France toward British-mandate Palestine aboard the Exodus 1947. British naval forces intercepted the ship on July 18 and transferred passengers to deportation ships. The episode exposed the collision between survivors’ need for refuge and British imperial control over immigration to Palestine. The passengers’ plight was not the same historical event as the Palestinian Nakba that followed in 1948.
