Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How many children were originally going to be aboard the "Exodus"? (The number was later changed.)

Answer: 300

It was later changed to 302 when Dov said he would not work unless he and Karen were allowed to sail on the ship.

2. What was the name of Kitty Fremont's daughter who died of polio?

Answer: Sandra

I believe she was only two months old when she died of polio.

3. What concentration camp was Dov Landau sent to?

Answer: Auschwitz

Dov was sent to Auschwitz. La Ciotat was the displaced persons' camp in Marseilles, France, that Karen ended up in when she was searching for her family.

4. What skill(s) did Dov know that saved his life in the concentration camp?

Answer: Counterfeiting and forgery

Dov learned skills of counterfeiting and forgery in the Warsaw ghetto. His sister was a forger and taught Dov, and Dov was soon the best forger in the ghetto. His main work was travel papers and passports for smuggling Jews out of the ghetto.

5. What is Jordana's beloved's name?

Answer: David

His name is David Ben Ammi. Ari is her brother. Dov falls in love with Karen, and Zev works with Ari and David in the Mossad Aliyah Bet.

6. What is the name of the terrorist group that Dov joins in Palestine?

Answer: The Maccabees

The Palmach is the group that teenagers join in Palestine. It trains them, even the girls, to defend Israel. The Mossad Aliyah Bet is the organization that Ari, David, and Zev work for. It helps Jewish refugees flee the country for safer lands.

7. What is the last name of Karen's adopted family?

Answer: Hansen

Clement is her biological parent's last name, so she calls herself Karen Hansen Clement.

8. What does Ari say his name means?

Answer: Lion, Son of Canaan

Mark was introducing them. Their conversation was as follows.

"Ari Ben Canaan. What an odd name."
"It is Hebrew, Mrs. Fremont. It means 'Lion, Son of Canaan.'"
"That's very confusing."
"On the contrary, Hebrew is a very logical language."
"Funny, it didn't strike me that way."
"Strange that it wouldn't strike you as logical. God thought Hebrew was so logical that he had the Bible written in that language."

9. What do the passengers on the Exodus threaten to do if the British don't let the ship sail to Palestine?

Answer: Go on hunger strike

They end up going more the 85 hours without food. The British won't let them sail and Ari announces that starting at noon the next day ten volunteers a day will commit suicide in full view of the British garrison. This is too much for Bradshaw and he lets them sail.

10. What was Karen's talent, besides working with children?

Answer: ballet

She was accepted to the Royal Copenhagen Ballet. Thanks for playing my quiz and I hope you enjoyed it. If it gets good feedback I might make a sequel. :-)
