Three Broadsides Issued by the "Haganah" – Broadside from the Israeli Declaration of Independence Day
Three underground broadsides issued by the "Haganah":
1. "Hachomah, Matters of Security and Defense", a small broadside titled "The White Paper Will Not Be" (Hebrew).
14X24.5 cm.
2. "To Institutions and Individuals in the Yishuv!" (Hebrew), a broadside from August 1947 calling to take precautions when writing letters and maintain "information security": "Letters sent overseas (and often in the country as well) reveal secrets of the Yishuv to the government. Many often write with criminal indiscretion… our secrets must not be revealed to the authorities which are waiting for an opportunity to harm us!" (Hebrew).
24.5X34.5 cm.
3. "Announcement of the Headquarters of the Haganah" from the Israeli Declaration of Independence day, May 14, 1948. Gilt lettering.
"The enemy threatens with invasion. Such danger must not be ignored… the security forces are taking the required steps. The entire public needs to provide the assistance required of it … do not panic, do not be compliant. Vigilance and discipline" (Hebrew).
34.5X24.5 cm.
Good overall condition.
