films about Establishment of Israel after Holocaust - 5.29.26

After looking at the lack of information about my parents’ search for relatives, the failure of my mother to find anyone alive after the war, I starteed thinking about the lack of films and novels about the statelessness of Jews after the war, and their vain search for somewhere to live, for a lost identity and framework.  The AI confirmed the paucity, mentioned The Search, The Long Way Home, Exodus,  – What about a stateless couple who can’t get to Palestine because someone ratted about his communist background and the Brits don’t let them in, and they get sent back to Poland as the Germans are invading.    But they find a temporary refuge and make it through the war, and start looking for a place to call home.  The Jewish agency digs up an aunt in the U.S. who doesn’t want them but gets “persuaded” to accept them, and there is no one else.  no one else survived.  and they have to begin to make a new life.  And then Israel is born, but its too late for them….

There are hundreds of thousands of stories much more fascinating than theirs.  Why have they never been filmed?
