About this item
by Sarah Ansbacher (Author)
They believed they had reached safety. Instead, they stepped into history's shadow.
November 1940. After a three-month journey fleeing Nazi-occupied Europe, Lilly and 1,800 Jewish refugees arrive in Haifa Bay aboard the SS Atlantic. For Lilly, widowed and haunted by loss, it means reuniting with her brother who has built a new life on a kibbutz. For her cousin Hannah, it means rejoining the fiancé who travelled on another ship. Safety and a new life in the Promised Land are finally within reach.
But hours pass with no explanation. Instead of permission to disembark, the British announce the refugees will be transferred to the SS Patria for temporary quarantine. Hannah is eager to go, certain her fiancé is already
aboard. Lilly suspects something is wrong. Is it really quarantine - or is this deception?
And then disaster strikes.
In the chaos that follows, Lilly must hold onto hope when promises are broken. Even as all seems lost, she discovers that the bonds of friendship and love may offer the only path forward.
Based on a little-known true story, Another Shore, the continuation of Wave After Wave, illuminates a forgotten chapter of World War II history: a story of love, betrayal, and resilience in the face of displacement.
