Unbelievable. The British archives just released 85,000 short news clips from the middle of the 20th century. Among the movies one that particularly interested me, the footage of the arrival of the refugees ship Knesset Israel: https://youtube/watch?v=kNQxbL71H1A My father was one of the refugees on this ship. They arrived to Haifa late in 1946 and were deported to Cyprus. This was part of the British policy enhanced in 1939, responsible to the death of at least hundreds of thousands of Jews during the holocaust, by preventing them from finding a shelter in their homeland. My father survived the war in Romania/Ukraine, and then started his journey to the land of Israel. Here is the Youtube channel of the archives: https://youtube/user/britishpathe/featured
