Description:
The 70th Anniversary of the Exodus of Yemenite Jewry “I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to Me” (Exodus 19:4)
The exhibition retells the story of Operation 'on Eagles' Wings' on several levels. Documents and photos from Dr. Beigel, the first manager of the camp, give historical testimony about its establishment and its early days. Photographs taken by Beno Rothenberg, which document the camp and its inhabitants, reflect the personal identity of the ‘olim within the larger national collective story of the operation. Video interviews with ‘olim, conducted as part of the “Seeing the Voices” documentary project, view from an additional angle the history and the immense suffering that they endured en route to the Hash’ed camp and the hardships of life there.
