This work investigates the logistical and political mechanisms behind the clandestine emigration of Iraqi Jews to the newly formed state of Israel during the volatile period of 1946-1951. Schlomo Hillel, a key operative in these events, utilizes his personal experience and archival access to detail the transition from underground resistance to organized mass migration. The text examines the intersection of regional geopolitical shifts, the rise of Arab nationalism, and the strategic imperatives of the Zionist movement during the post-World War II era.

This account serves as a primary historical document, offering a granular view of the clandestine operations that defined the era. The narrative provides a specialized perspective on the intersection of intelligence work and humanitarian migration, making it a significant resource for scholars of regional history.
