A bill for soldiers and female soldiers - the Histadrut of the Hebrew Workers in Eretz Israel, March 30, 1944. Stencil print.

A letter from Eretz Israel to the soldiers of the brigade in Europe in preparation for Passover 1944. "On the brink of the great campaign to which the whole world is anxiously awaiting with hope and faith, we send you our friendly blessing for Passover...". After a brief introduction about the progress of construction in the Jewish community in the Land of Israel, appear things written by the soldiers of the brigade in different places, who were exposed to the horrors of the Holocaust, and sent to Eretz Israel. Among other things, the soldiers of the brigade tell about the many efforts to find the Jewish refugees and their concentration, and about the attempts to unite families that were scattered in different places. They tell about a 24-year-old Jewish woman who was found in the house of a Gentile whose entire family perished in the camps, about a 25-year-old girl born in Slovakia who was among the immigration transport "Pancho" who was sick with tuberculosis, arrived at an Italian hospital, where she was forced to convert to Christianity, and efforts were made to return her to her Judaism, about the tense relations that prevailed between the Jewish partisans and the non-Jewish partisans, and about rescue attempts of Jews in different places, and more.
