From Catastrophe to Power: The Holocaust Survivors and the Emergence of Israel Hardcover - 1998
by Idith Zertal
From the rear cover
"This is a book that excels in depth and richness . . . to teach you that real history is an unending tragedy and anytime that we come closer to ourselves, everything is searing, everything is sublime. This is a book both searing and sublime."--Shimon Peres
"In my opinion From Catastrophe to Power is the most remarkable book on the twisted relation between the Holocaust and the creation of the State of Israel. It brilliantly shows how a group of clever people, namely the Mossad, organized the clandestine Jewish immigration in Palestine from 1945 to 1948, paving a way for crude politics in the midst of tragedy."--Pierre Vidal-Naquet
