Collection of items from Internment camps of Etzel and Lehi Exiles in Africa – letters to chief Rabbinate in Eretz Israel, an issue of "BeGalut Asmara" ["In Asmara Exile"], drawing of Sembel internment camp; telegram to the chief rabbi of Eretz Israel, Yitzhak HaLevi Herzog, concerning detainees in Kenya. Asmara, Gilgil and Haifa, 1946-1948.
1. Handwritten letter from the representative of Sembel camp detainees, Dov HaLevi Milman, to the Chief Rabbinate in Eretz Israel. Asmara, (February 22, 1946).
The letter deals with an incident that took place on January 17, 1946, when two detainees in the Sembel camp were killed by fire shot by soldiers of the Sudanese Guard.
At first, Milman thanks for the letter of condolences that was received from Chief Rabbi, Yitzhak Isaac HaLevi Herzog; he continues with a detailed description of the situation in the camp since the incident: "the wild guards, when they realized that the murderers were not punished but their deeds were justified… now they continue and abuse us…we request your immediate intervention…protests will not revive the dead". Leaf, 25.5 cm. Folding marks and creases. Dark spots. Torn in its upper part (no text omission).
The shooting incident in Sembel happened after a conflict between one of the detainees, Eliyahu Ezra, and one of the Sudanese soldiers, a conflict during which the soldier shot Ezra and injured him. When the guards refused to open the camp's gates and transfer Ezra to the first aid station, the detainees tried to break through the fence and the guards started shooting. The incident ended with the death of two detainees (Eliyahu Ezra and Shaul Galili) and with other detainees being injured. The Jewish Yishuv in Eretz Israel responded furiously to this incident, and the camp's detainees requested the appointment of an investigation committee. About one month later, in order to calm matters, the British authorities permitted the Chief Rabbi of Eretz Israel, Yitzhak Isaac HaLevi Herzog to visit the camp.
