Mivtsa Mural

Operation Mural - Casablanca 1961

Forty-five years after their clandestine mission, three Mossad agents return to Casablanca to retrace their steps in a humanitarian mission whereby 530 Jewish children reached Israel in 1961, under the guise of holidays in Switzerland. This film vividly documents how “Operation Mural” (16 March – 24 July 1961) succeeded beyond all expectations. The key actors relive their undercover activities: “Mural”, code-name of David G. Littman – himself unaware that the operation was directed by the Mossad – and his contacts, “Georges” and “Jacques”, assisted by a dedicated local group of Jewish youth (the Misgeret). There are many precious testimonies of children and key Mossad figures in Israel and the Littmans in Switzerland.
