Tatzpit - A Booklet by the Shomer HaTzair - Detention Camp in Cyprus, 1948
Tatzpit. For pioneering Zonism - for fighting socialism - for love of nations. An internal newspaper of the Shomer HaTzair group, stencil printing with illustrations.
Alongside text of a pioneering nature which summarizes the successes of the Jewish settlement in Israel and future plans, are a number of columns written by those exiled to detention camps in Cyprus ["Our life in the camps in Cyprus are hard. Dozens and hundreds of dangers are waiting for us at every step and casting a trap for our legs...the life of prison, of exile, is weighing down on us more and more, it has become a burden which can no longer be carried... due to our state as prisoners in the island of Cyprus, it is forbidden for us to take any action which will provide the British with an excuse to use their weapons..."]. There are also the plans of the "Committee for the Cyprus Exiles", and more.
A rare publication, which does not appear in the National Library.
11 leaves written on one side, 31 cm.
Fine condition.
