Description: Ismailia, on the Suez Canal, was once serene and prosperous. There Shoshana Ambache (soon known as Suzy) was born into a Jewish family where her father was working for the Suez Canal Company. During the Second World War, she met the brilliant Aubrey (Abba) Eban. Suzy and Abba were to dedicate their lives to each other and to the future State of Israel. Abba Eban was to have a key role in the establishment of Israel, negotiating at the United Nations to secure sufficient votes for the Partition Plan for Palestine.
