  • Underground to Palestine is a 1946 book by American journalist I. F. Stone chronicling some of the hundreds of thousands of Holocaust survivors attempting to reach the Jewish homeland in Mandatory Palestine from post-WWII displaced persons camps. Stone travels with the Haganah to Europe, where he joins a group of displaced persons (DPs) as they travel across the continent seeking a clandestine port of embarcation, joins an illegal convoy, runs the British blockade, and lands illegally in Mandatory Palestine. Stone wrote that displaced persons made strenuous efforts to reach the Jewish homeland of Israel although it would have been far easier to emigrate to the United States because They have been kicked around as Jews and now they want to live as Jews. Over and over I heard it said: ‘We want to build a Jewish country. ... We are tired of putting our sweat and blood into places where we are not welcome.' ... These Jews want the right to live as a people, to build as a people, to make their contribution to the world as a people. Are their national aspirations any less worthy of respect than those of any other oppressed people? Writing in The Globe and Mail, journalist John R. MacArthur judges the book better than John Reed's Ten Days that Shook the World. (en)
