Book Wrapper Embroidered by Female Etzel and Lechi Members in the Bethlehem Prison. [1947].
Manhig HaDor with a jacket embroidered by female Etzel and Lechi members imprisoned in Bethlehem, 1947 [2]. 8 cm. tall; 13 cm. wide. Unique, historic piece. Testimony to the imprisonment of female Etzel and Lechi members in Bethlehem before the state was established. Two prisoners, Penina and Yehudis, prepared this birthday gift for ‘Little Shula’ [שולל’ה הקטנה]; a hand-embroidered wrapper for the book Manhig HaDor about Zeev Jabotinsky (only edition, published in 1946). The book is bound in dark-blue material (a bedsheet?) with an embroidery of the book’s name, a picture of Jerusalem and the Israeli flag. Very fine condition. Along with the book B’Ma’atzar Beit Lechem with an autograph by the author Tzila Amidror (Heller) that helps identify the name of the women who prepared this gift.
