Perpetual trophy for the winners of the HaPoel national swimming championship, issued by "HaChevel HaYami LeIsrael" (a maritime training association). Designed by Shalom Sebba (signed on verso: "Sebba"). Palestine, 1942.
Trophy in the form of a plate, with a relief of a swimmer in its center, topped by the Hebrew inscription "HaPoel National Swimming Championship". Engraved with the logo of "HaChevel HaYami LeIsrael", and the Hebrew inscriptions "Gift of HaChevel HaYami LeIsrael, 1942", "1942, 1943, 1944, Jordan Valley" (these are presumably the competitions during which the trophy was awarded).
"HaChevel HaYami LeIsrael" was an association for marine training established in 1936. It founded a maritime school, dedicated itself to the development of the fishing industry, promoted swimming lessons and was one of the founders of the ZIM shipping company.
Siegfried Shalom Sebba (1897-1975), painter, stage designer, sculptor, photographer and book-illustrator. Born in Prussia, he acquired his artistic training in Königsberg and Berlin. Immigrated to Palestine in 1936. A pre-Canaanite artist, Sebba's work was characterized by rotund, heavy figures and objects, emphasized by solid, clear contours. In 1967 he moved to Germany, where he lived until his death.
Copper, partially plated with silver-toned metal; raised and hammered. Diameter: approx. 34 cm. Good condition. Plating on front worn and partially missing. Warping.

A chiseled stone ashtray and cigarette holder from the detention camp in the Ayalon Valley (Latrun). Latrun, Palestine, 1946.
An ashtray and a cigarette holder cut into a stone, decorated with a pair of chained hands alongside the Hebrew inscription "Latrun 22.VIII.1946, to Shifra from Yosef".
During the late 1930s, the British established a network of detention camps in the area of Latrun, which at first served mainly for imprisoning citizens of enemy countries, civilian war prisoners and Arabs arrested during the 1936-1939 Arab Revolt in Palestine. In 1942, the British started to use the Latrun camp to imprison members of the underground organizations – at first, members of the Lehi and the Irgun, and later also members of the Haganah, Revisionist Party activists and Jewish soldiers who were released from the British Army yet due to their military past were constant suspects in the eyes of the British of participating in underground warfare. In the summer of 1946, after the "Black Sabbath", the camp reached its full capacity – 600 prisoners, including leaders of the Yishuv who held positions in its official institutions: Moshe Sharet, Dov Yosef, David Remez, Yitzchak Greenbaum, Rabbi Y.L. Fishman-Maimon, and others. In August 1947, after the Sergeants affair and the Exodus affair, several mayors of Jewish cities were imprisoned in the camp, among them Israel Rokach and Avraham Krinitzi. The camp served as a detention camp until February 1948, when the British transferred its prisoners to the Atlit camp. During the time it served as a detention camp for members of the underground organizations, several hundreds of them were exiled to internment camps in Africa.
The prisoners of the camp organized lessons and sports activities; they busied themselves with handcraft, put on shows and even operated a coffee shop. The authorities of the camp permitted these activities believing they might prevent the prisoners from planning their escape or a rebellion.
Approx. 16X20.5 cm. Good condition. Stains and minor blemishes. Traces of glue on the base of the stand.
Literature: The Detention Camps in Latrun during the British Mandate (Hebrew), by Tal Misgav. In Alei-Zayit VeCherev, volume 9. Jerusalem: Carmel, 2009. pp. 158-185.
Provenance: The Rimon Family Collection.

A wooden relief of Moses carrying the Tablets of the Law, carved by a prisoner in the Gilgil detention camp in Kenya. [Gilgil], Kenya, 1948.
The relief, a well-executed artwork, depicts Moses standing on the mountain, one hand raised skywards and the other embracing the Tablets of the Law. Fixed on a wooden base, on which a Hebrew dedication is engraved: "To father, with love, from Mordechai. Kenya – 5708 [1948]".
In 1944, in light of the radicalization of the Irgun and Lehi activity and the repeated escapes from the detention camps in Palestine, the British decided to move their prisoners to camps in Africa, where they could not be assimilated into a sympathetic population. At first, 251 prisoners were sent to the Sembel camp in Eritrea in a secret and sudden military operation; with time, the British moved additional prisoners to the camps in Africa, their total number eventually reaching 439 people. From Sembel the prisoners were moved to the Carthage camp in Sudan, then to the Gilgil camp in Kenya. The conditions in these camps were harsher than those in the detention camps in Palestine – the prisoners suffered from lack of equipment and clothes, and from intolerable heat. The prisoners organized cultural and social activities in the camps, including lectures and classes, handicraft workshops and exhibitions displaying the works, sports activities and more. During the four years the camps had existed, small groups of prisoners tried to escape time and again, and some of them even succeeded in leaving Africa.
Approx. 13X12 cm; in a 20X23 cm frame. Unexamined out of the frame. Minor scratches. Additional rectangular wooden base beneath the base of the relief.

"Yesodot Hakeren HaKayemet LeYisrael" [The Foundations of the Jewish National Fund] – handmade illustrated book. [Israel, late 1940 or early 1950s].
Handmade book – large leaves on which typewritten leaves were pasted, alongside newspaper clippings and color illustrations, dealing with the Jewish National Fund's history, its founders, its major activists and activities, and the philosophers whose ideas led to the fund's establishment.
Three chapters of the book, "The Establishment of the Jewish National Fund", "Dignitaries" and "The Activities of the Jewish National Fund", describe in a simple language meant for children the early Zionist philosophy of Moses Hess and Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Kalischer, the establishment of the Jewish National Fund by Zvi Herman Shapira, the involvement of Theodor Herzl, the work of Menachem Ussishkin for the Fund, the redemption of the land and the problem of land profiteering, the pioneering enterprise, the afforestation work of the Jewish National Fund, the Blue Box and fund raising in the Diaspora for the redemption of the land, and more. The title page of the book is decorated with JNF stamps. The color illustrations reflect in part the influence of the graphic language typical of contemporary JNF publications.
At the end of the book is an additional chapter, different in content and design, dedicated to a description of Jewish life in the Diaspora (titled "The Jewish Anomaly"). This chapter reviews Y.L. Pinsker's idea of auto-emancipation and deals, in a humorous manner, with the life of Jews in the Diaspora, using passages from the writings of Shalom Aleichem and Moyshe Nadir.
This item is possibly an outline for a future book; however, no books bearing this title are held in the NLI, and it seems that it was not published.
