Presume 1st edition. Original printed paper wrappers, 16mo (pocket sized), 32 pages. 13 cm. In August " 1940, David Ben-Gurion.attended a reception at the Anglo-Palestinian Club in London's Windmill Street for those members of the Palestinian Company of the Auxiliary Military Pioneer Corps who had escaped Hitler's forces.Above all, he was astounded at the resilience of the British at this time of national peril and, if necessary, to stand alone against the Nazi plague.He wrote to his long suffering wife, Paula: â I am dumbfounded by the levelheadedness and inner confidence of this wonderful nation. It is as if nothing can shock it and nothing undermines its faith and confidence that victory will come in the end.' Simultaneously he raged against the terrible reality that the Jews were powerless both in the Yishuv (Jewish settlement in Palestine) and in the diaspora to stop the conquering Nazi armies.Ben-Gurion saw his trip as an act of solidarity with London, whose citizens were dying in their tens of thousands. It was also an act of resistance. He wrote: â I saw consummate heroism, physical and moral, not of individuals, not of pioneers. but of a nation, of millions of workers, merchants, shopkeepers, office workers. I know of no more majestic and sublime sight in all of history.'He included the Jews of Whitechapel in that tribute. In Ben-Gurion's eyes, London became sanctified and he felt â holiness in that place'"(Shindler in Jewish Chronicle, 2019).OCLC: 1117627654. OCLC lists one copy worldwide (NLI).
