Archive of letters and documents of the Rosenberg family from Bucharest - Baruch (Burah / Burel) and Rebecca (Rebeca / Beca) and their son Ariel Armin. Bucharest, Romania and Palestine, 1940s. Romanian.
Ariel Rosenberg was born in Bucharest in 1924; in 1941 he immigrated to Palestine with the Youth Aliya, served as liaison for the Haganah and served in the War of Independence as a soldier in the Givati Brigade, in its mapping and photography department. Rosenberg was killed in the southern coastline area by an Egyptian mine (for more information on him, see enclosed material).
The archive includes about 100 letters, most of them especially long, sent by Ariel (Armin) from Palestine to his family in Romania. About ten of the letters are written on telegram forms of the Romanian and Swiss Red Cross; many letters were sent during World War II. In addition, the archive contains several receipts from the Mishmar movement and the Zionist Organization in Romania (mid-1940s); a "Prisoner of War" certificate in the name of Rebecca and Baruch Rosenberg, issued by the Red Cross (1942); Baruch Rosenberg's ID card (Bucharest, 1944); letters and documents related to Ariel's death in the War of Independence; and other documents.
Over 100 documents in total. Size and condition vary.
