Overview"In 1939, the British restricted Jewish Immigration into Palestine by enforcing a policy known as ""The White Paper."" A Jewish underground organization known as the Irgun, fought furiously against them.

The Girl from Babylon tells the fascinating story of one of the Irgun's surviving members, Adina-Hay Nissan.
