Jonah in popular culture
According to a long-established tradition among sailors, the term "a Jonah" indicates a person (usually, a passenger, not a member of the crew) whose presence on board brings bad luck and endangers the ship. Several fictional works explicitly refer to such a tradition, including the movie Captains Courageous (1937) by Victor Fleming.
"A Jonah" is also a person who has endured suffering and deliverance, like the Jewish child who survived the concentration camp during the Holocaust in the autobiographical novel Kinderjaren (1978) by Jona Oberski. The story was filmed in 1993 by Roberto Faenza under the title Jona che visse nella balena / Jonah who Lived in the Whale.
