This is a great saga of the struggle of our people for freedom and life!!!
The characters in this book are ALIVE. They are REAL. Every person seems to be drawn from the real life people who passed through it all. Karen and Dov, those children who survived the horrors of the massacre of the Jewish people in the Holocaust, are left all alone, with no place to go back to, and are left with just one dream: to find a place to make it a home... Ari Ben Canaan, one of those brave people who risked their life to save others and bring them to their own land... The story of the half-dead orphan children going on a hunger strike to let them go home to Eretz Israel, the Land of Israel, is one of the most powerful and moving in literature.
The spirit of the bravery of our people, our dream to live in peace in the only place where the word "Jew" is not a curse, beats like a living heart in every letter of this book!
And the tragic ending of this novel shows the terrible truth: our struggle is not over.
Ari Ben Canaan said to the British: Let My People Go! Leon Uris, in the end of the book, says, Let My People Live!
