1: The Assignment
The opening episode follows the decision of investigative journalist
MICHAEL GREENSPAN to accept an invitation to accept an assignment to
research the stories of incredible occurrences in Israel in the
twentieth century, particularly during its major wars - stories that
defy logic and reason in their outcome. The episode features the
dramatization from the Yom Kippur War of tank commander DAVID YANIV’s
Golan experience, when a mysterious wind came out of nowhere to expose
thousands of mines in the field where they were stranded, saving their
lives only meters away from passing Syrian tank convoys.
2: Miracle At Michmash
Michael travels to Michmash to investigate two stories that history
records happened there 2,000 years apart. The episode dramatizes the
story of British major VIVIAN GILBERT, whose brigade was sent by
Allenby to rout out the Turkish garrison at Michmash, in preparation
for the assault on Jericho during World War I. But the night before the
battle, Gilbert read the Biblical account of Saul and Jonathan, who in
1050 BC. were camped in the same place as the British were now - and
faced a garrison of 30,000 Philistines at Michmash. Gilbert is inspired
to follow Jonathan’s unorthodox battle plan and experiences a similar,
some would say ‘miraculous’, victory against all logic for its success.
3: Shula - The Girl Who Became a Spy
Michael meets 85 year old SHULA COHEN and the episode dramatizes her
amazing story of becoming a spy for Israel in 1948 in Beruit, where her
wealthy husband and her acceptance in Lebanese / Syrian social circles
gave her unprecedented access to secret intelligence information. In a
story reminiscent of Queen Esther in the Bible, she risks her
comfortable lifestyle and social life to help her people, but unlike
Esther, Shula pays a high price for her choice. Imprisoned in 1960, she
endures seven years of torture and abuse before a secret prisoner
exchange after the Six Day War, allows Shula to come home to Jerusalem.
4: The Miracle Of Survival - Pt 1 Ceaser to Hitler
No examination of modern Israel can be appreciated without a look at
the tragedy of the Holocaust that erased one third of the world’s Jews
in one devastating season of hate at the hand of Adolf Hitler. In this
powerful episode, Michael is joined by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel,
who endured Aushwitz concentration camp and became a champion for human
rights around the world. The episode features archive images of the war
and the events that shaped a determination by the Jews of Europe to
seek a homeland where they could be free. The program examines how
world opinion was swayed to support the Zionist cause after the war and
examines the courage of those who gave their lives to lay the
foundation for the rebirth of Israel that they would never see
themselves.
