Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:
The Fede stands by at the dock at La Spezia, Italy, April 19, 1946, while more than a thousand Jewish refugees from Eastern Europe await British government permission to leave for Palestine. Some of the refugees are on board the ship, and others are on the dock. The Delegation for the Assistance of Jewish Emigrants (DELASEM) working in Italy helped organize the emigration, but it took a hunger strike to break the British blockade.
