Nechemia
To Palestine by Camel
Nechemia’s (Rachel’s husband) family were from Hamburg and Berlin. In 1935 he and his parents took a train to Italy and were waiting to leave by ship for months. Finally they found a ship going to India and were dropped off at the Suez Canal. The three traveled by camel to Palestine. Nechemia had a snapshot of their journey.
