Item Summary

Irgun-published newspaper titled Herut ("Freedom"). The front-page article discusses the establishment of a Jewish Brigade to fight with the British in World War II. The article claims that the brigade has generated little enthusiasm among Jewish soldiers, and that the British are using the Jewish Brigade to take Jewish fighters out of Mandate Palestine. The Princeton University Library holds a small collection of Passover Haggadot published by this Jewish Brigade while fighting with the British. Another article addresses the importance of the Western Wall as a symbol of Jewish freedom.
