Is there any historical evidence that the exodus of hebrew people from ancient Egypt occurred?

by tempforthedemp

In any form -- was there a movement of hebrews from ancient Egypt to Isreal? Regardless of the legend of Moses or Ramses II -- did an exodus happen? Is there evidence that Egypt used hebrew people as slave laborers? What is the kernal of truth in the abrahamic myth system regarding exodus? When did written stories of an exodus first appear?
