Wow that is such is wonderful piece of history of Mauritius that I was not aware. Tears running down my face. Long it had been known of the many people who had landed on the island but never did I know of this landing of the Jewish people. Why were they imprisoned as I thought the British were against hitler and the war?
Yes! I do have one question though. I always thought the name of the ship from Europe was the Atlantic, and that they re-boarded that same ship in Haifa after being in Atlit, I had not heard about the two ships you mentioned (Uranus and ?). Perhaps both sets of boats were involved, do you know??
