Description
Correspondence of Joseph Schechtman with Abba Ahimeir: Ahimeir letter dated 23 July 1956, mentions unknown article that Zeev Jabotinsky did not read and says around Jabotinsky milled around people with vested interests, but Jabotinsky has a different psychology: sometimes cursing "his soldiers on the front" and suffers from parasites in the homefront, writing about Brit Habirionim- never were in favor of the Nazis, the contrary - they were in favor of an economic boycott against Germany, raises the question of whether in Hitlerism were elements of national liberation movements, suggesting that no one questioned whether "front of the people" party newspaper, although Jabotinsky participated in it all the time, saying Revisionists never paid for the paper. " Front of the people" was one of the best anti-Nazi newspapers in the Yishuv, for example: May 1, 1933, large headline "Holiday of Stalin, Ben Gurion and Hitler," writes: "It could be returned -33 we were bad prophets, no worse than Churchill, in any case better than official Jewish community authorities." Writes that until now he thinks orientation of Jewish left in charge of the "six million".
