ABSTRACT

In December 1944, Reuven and his wife Betty set sail on a perilous fourweek wartime sea voyage to the United States. Zaslany used the time to recuperate from the many frustrations and disappointments that he suffered during the latter phase of his work in the Jewish Agency. Shortly after his arrival in the United States he began a new chapter in his career - a chapter that was strongly based on all of his earlier achievements.
