The Road to Kfar Byachad

by Jack Sandler

In the spring and summer of 1939, war between the Nazi regime and England and France was imminent. For the millions of European Jews, the first stages of the “Final Solution” were already beginning to take shape. As the threat became apparent, many Jews made plans to escape before they were caught in the web of the Nazi design. For some of them, the growing Jewish community in Palestine represented a plausible option. The Road to Kfar Byachad follows the route taken by three different parties before reaching this a young married couple from Ukraine, a family of five from Warsaw, and a member of the Dutch underground. Their experiences represent the struggle endured by thousands of Jewish refugees attempting to evade the Holocaust.
