Informative Circular Letter on behalf of "LaAsireinu", relief society for detainees and prisoners in Israel and in exile. April 1948.
A printed letter in which the society informs about the refusal of the British Government to answer the request to return the exiles to the country before the end of the British Mandate, about the lack of communication with the prisoners in the remote camp, and about their visit to the detention camp in Atlit.
In 1944 the British Mandate Authorities in Eretz Israel deported several hundred Etzel and Lehi members to internment camps in Africa. At first they were transferred to Sembel, later on to Carthago, from there back to Sembel, and finally to Gilgil in Kenya, where they were detained until their liberation and return to Israel in July 1948. LaAsireinu society founded by the Jewish National Council acted for their well being and for their return to the country.
