Sha'a Gedola BeChayei HaUma [A Great Hour in the Nation's Life], by Prof. Joseph Klausner. A booklet from the series "El-Al Library", published by "El-Al Students' Union" in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [1935]. Hebrew.
On the title page appear approx. 9 signatures of members of the Students' union "El-Al", a union of Revisionist students, signed during a "party of El-Al union, 12-3-1935". Among the signatures are those of Avrhaham Yaari, Isaac Katz, and others, as well as the signature of the fourth commander of Irgun - David Raziel. An additional signature on the inside front cover – "S. Trachtman".
David Raziel (1910 Vilnius - 1941 Iraq), immigrated to Palestine with his family when he was three years old; but since the family had a Russian citizenship they were deported and wandered for eight years before returning to the country. Raziel graduated from "Tachkemoni" school where his father worked as a teacher, and continued his studies in Yeshivat Merkaz HaRav in Jerusalem. At the same time, he studied in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and was a member of the students' union "El-Al".
Considering the events in Europe when World War II broke out, Raziel announced that the negative attitude towards the British has to cease in order to fight the Nazis. In 1941 Raziel was sent by the British to Iraq to suppress an anti-British uprising. He headed a commando unit of four people and was killed during an attempt to occupy Faluja, by a German aircraft bomb.
45 pp, 19 cm. Fair-good condition. Dampstains and other stains. Blemishes to title page. Tears to margins of leaves (sheets were unprofessionally cut).

Manhig Hador [Leader of the Generation], a compilation in memory of Ze'ev Jabotinsky. Published by the cultural department of Betar, 1946.
The book has a dark blue cloth cover with the Tower of David and the flag of Israel embroidered on its front. On the inside lapel of the cover, a personal dedication is embroidered: "To Shula'leh, for your birthday, the eve of Rosh Hashanah 1946, from Peninah" (Hebrew). Facing it, on the first page, appears a handwritten dedication: "To little Shulamit! For your birthday my sincere and warm greeting is sent to you, Yehudit. Bethlehem, the eve of Rosh Hashanah 1946" (Hebrew).
The women's prison in Bethlehem, which was run by the Mandate government, was used for imprisoning Arab and Jewish women and during the 1930s and 1940s, imprisoned female fighters of the Irgun and the Lehi. The prison was occupied by a few dozen prisoners only, most of them Arab, and therefore, the embroidery before us is a unique example of a work done between the walls of the prison by a prisoner who was a member of one of the underground movements.
17.5 cm. The embroidered cover is in good condition, with a slightly faded spine. The book (soft binding) is in good condition, tears and blemishes to binding.
