Handwritten letter by Yehudah Feder, member of "Brit HaHashmona'im". Underground Prisoners Jail, Russian Compound, Jerusalem, January 1948.
Handwritten letter on a thin, small, leaf of paper, addressed to "Brit HaHashmona'im" headquaters in Tel-Aviv. Most likely smuggled out of the prison. In the letter Feder expresses thanks for a parcel sent to him by "Brit HaHashmona'im", asks about the "HaHashmonai" newspaper(the movement's publication of which Feder was an editor), and shares some of his feelings and experiences. About one month later, on February 20, 1948, Yehudah Feder (aka "Bar Giora") was one of eight prisoners who fled the jail. Included is the book "Brit HaHashmona'im BaMa'avak LeHerut Israel", by Shaul Avishai. Note, 11x8cm in minute handwriting. Creases, tears and stains.
