Abstract |
Fundraiser. Part 1: The long journey, by train, then bus, and then by ship, until refugees finally reach Israel. Part 2: The poor facilities and the lack of care for the patients and the urgency for help. A former prison is used as a mental institution because no other facilities were available at that time. |
