Item Summary

This document, titled "From Trial to Hanging," challenges the fairness of the trial of two LEHI members, Eliyahu Ḥakim (1925-1945) and Eliyahu Bet-Tsuri (1922-1945), claiming that the trial, held in Cairo, was rigged by the British. It claims that the British pressured the Egyptian government to carry out the death sentence despite indications that the sentence of at least one defendant would be commuted. The document explains how Bet-Tsuri's request to write a farewell letter to his family was rejected. Both prisoners sang Hatikvah, which would become Israel's national anthem, as the sentence was carried out.
