19360008193HAIFA ISRAEL. Good. 1936. On offer is a notebook and diary In Hebrew authored by Ruth Aschner a daughter of German refugees who came to Israel in mid-1930s. The notebook measures 81' x 62' contains 138 pages and is 90% complete. The pages are slightly yellowed and there are some scribbles on the cover and some pages but otherwise the condition is good and the handwriting is very legible. On the 41st page there is text: "General notebook of Ruth Aschner Carmel Mountain Ben-Zion Neighborhood Aschner House" followed by a record dated 1937 with rules of a ball game rules. Though cursory search did not reveal much information it is clear from the context that the family came to Mandatory Palestine in mid-1930s at the time Ruth was writing her diary she was between 11 -14 years old her father worked at "Migdal" most likely Migdal insurance company - Ruth writes about his trips to Jerusalem on business and in one of the entries writes that someone broke into his car and stole his work documents "acts" "everything collected during the months of work in MIgdal". The first 80 pages are school notes including conjugation tables reading and grammar rules with explanations in German writing practice in Hebrew riddles and jokes lists of books a list of about 140 pictures from Degel cigarette packs Kedem tobacco company a list of students with their birthdays and more. The most interesting part is 46 pages titled "Private Diary belonging to Ruth Aschner from September 1940 to the end of May 1941". The entries vary in length there are usually 3 to 5 entries on each page but there are some that take more than one page. It could be a typical description of everyday life of a school girl but almost every entry includes details reflecting the most tragic and turbulent time in the 20th century history. She writes about Italian bombings of Haifa SS Patria disaster Yugoslavia Coup d'Etat death of Greek Prime Minister Metaxas. The very first entry starts with description of a bombing: "In the afternoon the Rozens came to visit us suddenly there was an attack the siren did not work all the bombs fell into the sea. Then we went to a dressmaker that is making a dress and a school skirt for me. Yehudit Ben-Zion and her family moved to another apartment not close." Sept. 6 1940. Italian bombings of Mandatory Palestine during WW2 were targeting ports and refineries in Palestine primarily Haifa and Tel-Aviv. Haifa was hit many times since June 1940 the bombings continued until June 1941 and so does her diary - along with describing bombings sirens hiding in shelter she writes about weather school trips scout activities music lessons entertainment: "In the afternoon I have a music lesson. In the morning Yehudit came here . For dinner I made salad - tomatoes with salt onion oil and vinegar. At 2.30 p.m. there was an attack again we ran to the bomb shelter the bombs fell near the "refinery" the siren was late as usually. At 7.10 there was an attack I was at Dalia's .The news are not clear. ". Sept. 8 1940; "In the morning at 8.45 the siren sounded - we ran to the shelter I was still in pajamas.I helped mother later I will go to the shoemaker.there have been 5 attacks already and in all of them tanks were burning. Together with those that I mentioned there were 8. At 2.10 the siren sounded again and we ran to the shelter . did not hear anything.then I was in the middle of dishwashing. Then there was another attack at 2.30 we did not hear anything ran to the shelter then after all-clear signal we went up. In the evening I will go to the dressmaker to try clothes on. Two letters came today one from England one from America. At 5 in the evening there was another attack and we ran to the shelter again. It makes you crazy - 4 times during the day.terrible. . Dad Harry and Paula will go to the cinema to see "Verdi" in the evening ." Sept.9 1940. On that day there were no casualties in Haifa but 147 people were killed in Tel-Aviv about which she writes 3 days later: "On 9.9 there was a bombing in Tel-Aviv about 120 people were killed 100 of them Jewish. Jews were destroyed and injured at their homes. Enemy airplanes were flying low after the event the siren sounded." In November another tragic event happens this time in Haifa: "Several days ago there arrived a ship with refugees from Germany and occupied countries she has been in the port for a week already and the English do not allow them to get off . There are some people we know like Epstein and other.". In November three ships with over 3600 Jewish refugees arrived in Haifa but the British refused their entry and the passengers were transferred to another ship SS Patria. Yishuv leaders organized a general strike but it had little effect: "19.11 40: today there is a strike at 12:00 until midnight because they do not want to allow people to get off from the ship ." On November 25 overloaded SS Patria sank because of the explosion: "25.11. Disaster happened.The ship Patria sank. Do not know why it happened. They say that it exploded but it is only rumours. People did not drown but 30 were injured and transported to Hadassah. The others are sitting in the port without clothes so we organized into groups and stations and collected clothes and blankets for the refugees." Unfortunately she was wrong - over two hundred and seventy people drowned 172 were injured. As it became known many years later the explosion was organized by Haganah members as an attempt to prevent the ship from leaving the port but they miscalculated the size of explosion. She also writes about political news from Europe there is a part titled "politics" in some of her entries - usually it is a newspaper clipping accompanied by her comments: "I think that instead of writing what I think is right it would be better to take pieces from newspaper in newspapers they know politics better than I do". The clippings include an article about death of Greek Prime-minister Ioannis Metaxas a headline about certificates issued to Jewish refugees and an article about Belgrade Coup D'Etat of March 27 1941 that replaced pro-Nazi government with young King Peter II opposing to Nazi Germany: "Big revolution in Yugoslavia. Regent Paul left the young King Peter 17.5 years old came to power against Hitler and the old Prime-minister was arrested because he wanted to support Hitler Peter is a "terribly" nice boy he immediately became loved I like him very much. 17 year old boy and the king very very unusual." Apr. 3 1941. She writes about events important for the Jewish community in Palestine like a few lines about Henrietta Szold birthday and about the death of Dov Hoz Labor Zionist leader in a car accident. Her diary is a great evidence of what life for Jewish refugees was like in pre-state Israel. She mentions many movies and performances they saw: "I went with the parents now to "Matate" - "Lights in darkness" and will come back in the evening." "Matate" was a satirical theatre established in 1928. There are several detailed descriptions of her trips with Tzofim Jewish scouts to Tiberias Hurshat Ha'arbaim Kibbutz Yagur and Druz village Isfiya as well as of small family trips to Jerusalem. She writes about her friends and family birthdays and even gives the recipe of a chocolate fish she made for her father. This is an excellent document of life in Mandatory Palestine during the first years of the Second World War. It contains references to many historical events as seen by a young girl and provides valuable information for local historians and genealogists including names of local residents Aschner family and friends students and teachers from Ruth's school and Tzofim movement many with their birthdays. It also contains information about cultural events in the city and school program and activities.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF; 1940s; 20TH CENTURY; WW2 SECOND WORLD WAR; ITALIAN BOMBINGS OF HAIFA; HAIFA REFINERY BOMBINGS; LIFE OF JEWISH IMMIGRANTS IN PRE-STATE ISRAEL; MANDATORY PALESTINE; ISRAEL; PRE-STATE ISRAEL; JEWISH REFUGEES IN MANDATORY PALESTINE; REFUGEES FROM NAZI GERMANY; HEBREW SCHOOLS IN MANDATORY PALESTINE; "MATATE" SATIRICAL THEATRE; READING PATTERNS OF JEWISH YOUTHS IN PRE-STATE ISRAEL; PATRIA DISASTER; HURSHAT HA'ARBAIM; BEN-ZION NEIGHBORHOOD HAIFA; SCHOOL TRIPS IN MANDATORY PALESTINE; ISFIYA; MOUNT CARMEL; YAGUR; YUGOSLAV COUP D'ETAT KING PETER II OF YUGOSLAVIA; IOANNIS METAXAS; HAR CARMEL WATER TOWER; CARMEL MOUNTAIN; TZOFIM; HEBREW SCOUTS MOVEMENT; JEWISH YOUTH MOVEMENT; MIGDAL COMPANY; DOV HOZ; JEWISH YOUTH IN MANDATORY PALESTINE; IMMIGRATION TO PRE-STATE ISRAEL; FIFTH ALIYAH; FIFTH WAVE OF IMMIGRATION TO ISRAEL; YISHUV; HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . hardcover

19470008116Jerusalem Israel British Mandated Palestine. Good. 1947. On offer is a unique historically significant journal handwritten during the final days of British Mandated Palestine most entries made immediately prior to the Declaration of Independence. This is a one-year page a day journal for the Jewish year of 5708 September 1947 to October 1948 has about 50 entries with most entries made between September 1947 and December 1947 and few brief records scattered over the next few months - the last one is dated June 7. It measures 7' by 5' the hardcover is slightly soiled but otherwise the journal is in very good condition. The text is in Hebrew the handwriting is mostly legible. Author's name is not identified but there is a note on the front page: "Vaad Hakehilla. Hanala Klalit" Local Community Council. General Management. It is clear from this note and from the context that the journal was kept by a member of the Hebrew Community Council in Jerusalem the body that was established in 1917 and coordinated and represented different groups of Jerusalem Jews during the British Mandate. Vaad Hakehila was responsible for different aspects of Jewish life in the city including economic and social assistance to the residents. It had a social services department and a society of assistance to kindergartens issues related to them are mentioned in the journal several times. Most entries are the minutes of the Council meetings. Some entries deal with organizational and financial matters taxes elections complaints dispute settlement work of social services purchase of fire engines but most meetings reflect increasingly tense situation in the city and concern food and fuel supply food rationing security and organizing Mishmar ha'am National Guard - unit of volunteers established in September 1947 in Jerusalem for maintenance of public order. The Council was constantly in contact with the state authorities political and religious leaders various Jewish organizations trying to solve various problems facing Jewish community in the city. Among the names mentioned in the journal are Yitzhak Ben-Zvi David-Zvi Pinkas a Zionist activist politician a signatory of the Declaration of independence and a future minister Mordechai Shatner a signatory of the Declaration activist and politician one of the founders of Yad Va-Shem who then was a member of the Jewish National Council Ben-Zion Meir Hai Uziel the Sephardi chief rabbi of Mandatory Palestine who appeared before the Mandatory government as representatives of the Jewish community and on missions on its behalf Itzhak HaLevi Herzog the first Chief Rabbi of Ireland and then the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Mandatory Palestine and of Israel Menashe Elassar a noted Jerusalem businessman and many other. The first entry is dated September 15 and mentions a meeting with Mr. Ben-Zvi who had been the President and a member of the Vaad Haleumi the National Council a post in which he served as the chief representative of the Jewish community vis-a-vis the mandatory authorities. His name is mentioned several times throughout the journal in relation to various matters. A council meeting on September 17 dealt with several issues including social work and house confiscation order of the Babayoff family: "Military Commander refused a request to postpone confiscation order for the Babayoff's House till after the holidays . Chief Rabbi Uziel was asked to speak with the commissioner about postponement of the confiscation order. Rabbi Herzog was also asked to speak with the Military Commander regarding the same matter". Many entries mention searches conducted by the British Army in Jewish neighbourhoods one of such searches on Yom Kippur Eve finished with desecration of a synagogue: "Search in Nachlat Zvi Jerusalem neighbourhood. After we received information regarding the desecration of the synagogue by the army during their search R' Nattan and I went to check if the information was correct. We reached the location after the search had finished and the army left the place. All the synagogue benches the tables chairs and pillows were upside down. All of the study books Mishnayot Zohar Gemaras were scattered on the floor. The holy ark was open and the Torah scrolls were open ." Some of the entries refer to property damage caused by bombings that the council members were assessing: "After the two nights that passed in Jerusalem Shabbat night and Motzei Shabbat when tens of thousands of bullets were shot towards the all the Jewish areas of the city I got up early . to visit the places that were the primary targets of the bullets of the police and soldiers. The primary target was again the homes near the police dormitory in the hospital of the English Mission. The view of the horrifying sight of the destruction caused to these homes and the miracle that nobody's life was taken . testimonies were collected from dozens of people."Nov. 16. One of the constant subjects was ensuring food and fuel supply in the city: "Meeting of the supply committee with bakery owners to ensure sufficient flour supply in case of emergency" ".To bring all wholesalers and demand from them to increase supplies in Jerusalem." they meet with members of the Jewish National Council JNC and devote many meetings to this matter. As part of their activity they meet with mukhtars heads of Arabic neighbourhoods. Va'ad had limited means to cope with the worsening situation and in December the Jerusalem Emergency Committee was set up that took upon itself civil administration of Jewish Jerusalem which explains why there are almost no entries after November. Though it includes only about 50 entries of varying length the journal provides a lot of details from the months preceding the Declaration of Independence and contains names of many people who played an important role in creation of the Israeli State. Overall it's a fascinating document of the life of Jewish community in Jerusalem during the last months of the British Mandate and activity of the Jewish Community Council in Jerusalem.; Manuscript; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 20TH CENTURY 1940s POST-WW2 ERA MIDDLE EAST ISRAEL JERUSALEM JEWISH QUARTER CREATION OF ISRAEL JEWS OF JERUSALEM BRITISH MANDATE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE MANDATORY PALESTINE BATTLE OF JERUSALEM 1947 BOMBINGS IN JERUSALEM JEWISH SELF-GOVERNING BODIES IN MANDATORY PALESTINE MISHMAR HA'AM NATIONAL GUARD IN JERUSALEM LOCAL COMMUNITY COUNCIL IN JERUSALEM VA'AD HAKEHILA VAAD HAKEHILA JERUSALEM LOCAL AUTHORITIES LEADERS OF JEWISH COMMUNITY OLD CITY PARTITION BRITISH ARMY IN MANDATORY PALESTINE SOCIAL SERVICES DURING THE BRITISH MANDATE ISRAEL BEFORE INDEPENDENCE SELF-GOVERNMENT OF JEWS IN JERUSALEM JEWISH COOPERATION WITH BRITISH ADMINISTRATION IN PALESTINE YITZHAK BEN-ZVI DAVID-ZVI PINKAS MORDECHAI SHATNER END OF THE BRITISH MANDATE FOOD RATIONING IN JERUSALEM FOOD SUPPLY TO JERUSALEM ZIONISM ZIONIST ACTIVISTS JEWISH NATIONAL COUNCIL JNC VAAD HALEUMI 1947 JERUSALEM RIOTS JERUSALEM RELIGIOUS LEADERS HEBRAICA JEWISH HISTORY HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . hardcover

Printer and newsagent Herbert Ingram moved from Nottingham to London in early 1842. Inspired by how the Weekly Chronicle always sold more copies when it featured an illustration he had the idea of publishing a weekly newspaper that would contain pictures in every edition. The first issue of The Illustrated London News appeared on 14 May 1842. It was published weekly until 1971 and then increasingly less frequently until publication ceased in 2003.source-Wikipedia.org</p>
