    The Negbah (Hebrew for southbound) ship arrived in Israel on a voyage from Holland at the peak of fighting on the Negev in the Independence War. The ship was commanded by British Master Miller. The ship carried a group of 500 Jewish children -- Holocaust survivors from Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Germany -- who were gathered in the "youth village" "Ilaniah" near the town of Apeldoorn in Holland.
