From Tragedy to Triumph: The Politics Behind the Rescue of Ethiopian Jewry
Editorial Reviews
Review
“...Bard objectively analyzes the varying motives and fairly assesses the different contributions of the US and Israeli governments, their public officials, and private organizations and persons who frequently disagreed about the actual physical situation and religious identity of the Beta Israel in Ethiopia, and what to do about all of this in a time of frequent strife and famine in the Horn of Africa. General and undergraduate collections.”–
“From 1984 to 1991, Israel conducted a series of dramatic rescues, bringing thousands of Ethiopian Jews to the state of Israel from intolerable conditions in Ethiopia and the Sudan. Nonetheless, there is much to deplore in how long it took for the leaders of Israel to recognize and take action to save these Jews known as Falasha. This book gives the story behind the rescue.”–
Book Description
From 1984 to 1991, Israel conducted a series of dramatic rescues, bringing thousands of Ethiopian Jews to the state of Israel. As dramatic and uplifting as this effort was, there are still troubling questions about why it took so many years for Israel to take action to save this ancient African branch of the Jewish Diaspora. This is the complete story behind the Israeli rescue of the Jews of Ethiopia--how tragedy was turned into triumph.
