Olim and Tayerim

Former passengers from the Exodus relax on board the Romanian liner Transylvania. They were immigrating "legally" to Palestine with certificates provided by the Bricha.




Liner Transyivania main route was, initially, prior to WWII, from Constanția in Romania, to Alexandria in Egypt, with occasional longer voyages. Between 1941 and 1945 it was interned in neutral Turkey for protection. After WWII the ship was used to transfer the Holocaust survivors to Haifa.
