Item Summary

LEHI-published underground newspaper with articles about the group's actions and political views. This edition is described as the 2nd edition because the 1st edition was confiscated by the British. The lead article compares the heroes of LEHI fighting the British to the fighters of the Bar Kokhba rebellion of 132-136 CE fighting the Romans. The text references the coins minted by the Bar Kokhba fighters with the inscriptions "Shimon" and "To the Freedom of Israel."
