Lost Jewish Island Ira Cochin

In the year 1905, 2000 Jewish children with 5 adults left the country where they were persecuted, and they sailed to an abandoned island in the North Pacific Ocean. They lived happily, till a dictator with the help of 14 armed criminals, invaded the island and held the population captive. The dictator kept the children from being educated. He destroyed all their Jewish books and forced them to abandon their Jewish customs --- once again subjects of religious persecution. However, these "ignorant" people found ways to use coded words to secretly observe Jewish ways and holidays. They were forced to work in an unsafe mine whose ore was radioactive. Many miners came down with radiation poisoning, and several died. Then, a ten year-old boy was crippled by a runaway ore car and a wise man helped him to sue the dictator. That was the beginning of the downfall of the tyrant. With that as the impetus, quietly, the people planned a revolt and attacked. The dictator was shocked that his guards offered no resistance.
