Letter written by Yitzchak Slonky to his wife Lotti, who was in the detention camp. He explains to her why Jews must ascend to the Land. He mentions, inter alia, the tendency to socialism and communism, adding pessimistically, “Apparently no Jew is confident that the promises will be kept and that the displacement from exile will be realized” and as such, they must ascend to the Land. Another part is addressed to his wife’s teacher, and the third part is in a foreign language.
This letter reveals a bit of the situation of the Jews in the Land and in exile just before the establishment of the state of Israel.
The letter was sent via the British police in Latrun, which is why all its parts are grouped together in one document.
