Bricha

Bricha (Hebrew for "escape") was the organized illegal mass immigration

movement of Jews from Eastern Europe across the occupied zones and into

Israel after WWII. The aim was to reach the coasts, where clandestine ships

arranged by the Aliyah Bet organization could transfer the DPs to Palestine.

Founded by Abba Kovner and other surviving partisans of Vilna, Bricha began

operations in July 1945. In 1946 as the exodus of survivors intensified, a

network of way stations was established that would route the survivors through

Poland and into the US-occupied Zone of Germany. The US Zone

commanders and the Czech government tacitly permitted the infiltration.

Soldiers from the Jewish Brigade and the underground Jewish army in

Palestine administered the program and funds were provided by JDC. Bricha

operatives who escorted the DPs were frequently survivors themselves.

Between August 1945 and June 1946, Bricha figures showed approximately

48,000 refugees had left Poland in this way. An unknown total number of Jews

reached Palestine via Bricha, but estimates range from 80,000 to 250,000. See
