A special permit allowing entry to the Atlit clearance camp, during the period between February 16 and February 28, 1943, issued by the immigration office of the Jewish Agency (Haifa branch) and by the Inspector in Charge of the Atlit camp. [Atlit-Haifa, 1943]. English.
On February 18, 1943, approx. 1200 "Teheran Children" – Jewish children who were transferred from Poland to Teheran and later to Palestine, arrived in the Atlit Camp; this permit was presumably issued within the framework of the operation to rescue these children.
The permit is in the name of Chaim Neiger and bears a photograph of him. Neiger (1873-1944) was a Zionist activist in Galicia and Palestine, the chairman of the Zionist Movement in Western Galicia and a member of the city council of Tarnów in Galicia. He immigrated to Palestine in 1937 and lived in Haifa. In Palestine, he continued to be a Zionist activist and worked in the insurance business.

Cyprus Diary. [The writer's name, place of printing and year are not indicated. Presumably, Givat Brener, 1947].
Four mimeographed typescript leaves, with illustrations, describing the affair of the illegal immigrant ship "Shabtai Luzinsky", during the 12th to 25th of March 1947: the arrival of the ship to the Nitzanim beach, the deportation of its illegal immigrants together with local residents (who identified themselves by the sentence "I am a Palestinian Jew") to a detention camp in Cyprus on SS "Empire Rival" and their stay in the camp, until their return to Palestine. The diary was presumably written by a member of Kibbutz Givat Brener who was one of the volunteers, residents of the area, who came to the beach to make it harder for the British to identify the illegal immigrants and were eventually also deported to Cyprus.
The illegal immigrant ship "Shabtai Luzinsky" is remembered in the history of illegal immigration as one of the few ships that managed to offload illegal immigrants on the shores Palestine after World War II.
[4] leaves (7 printed pages), 33 cm. Good condition. A few stains. Pinholes to upper margins. Tears restored or reinforced with tape.
Provenance: The Rimon Family Collection.
