This Auction represents the active and expanded continuation of a trend influenced by the collectors we have adopted, in order to expand our services to collectors, libraries and lovers of the Jewish past in all its shades.
In sales of collections, great emphasis has been placed on promoting such collections for the benefit of institutions, archives and also individual collectors.
We wish to emphasize that, since many of these lots contain many items including thick albums and books, as well as metal, olivewood, and heavy objects, purchasers must take into account shipping costs when considering bids and final prices.

Martyrs’ burials and the transfer of their bones from the Old City to the Mt. of Olives.
With the fall of the Jewish Quarter in 1948, many martyrs of the War of Independence, residents of the Jewish Quarter, were buried temporarily in the yards of the abandoned Jewish Quarter. After the Six-Day War, with the reunification of Jerusalem, their bones were reburied in the Mt. of Olives.
Before us are two newspaper facsimiles, one of which shows a coffin at the base of the mountain being brought for burial. The other shows the Jerusalem tzaddik Rabbi Aryeh Levin, accompanied by followers (on his left is the former Prime Minister Menachem Begin wearing a hat).
The pictures were taken by Photo Weiss Jerusalem, from Me’ah She’arim 145, with an issue which surveyed the burial.
