Many of the sources posed problems concerning numerical data on immi­ gration, especially for the months leading up to the end of the British Mandate, January-April 1948, and the first few months of the state, May­ August 1948. The researchers point out that 7,574 immigrant data cards are missing from the records and believe this to be due to the 'circumstances of the times'. Records are complete from September 1948 onward, and an important population census was held in November 1948. A parallel record­ ing system conducted by the Jewish Agency, which continued to operate after that of the Mandatory Government, provided us with statistical data for immigration during 1948-9 and made it possible to analyse the part taken by the Holocaust survivors.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 PREFACE Practically every American town and city has its race conflicts. The degree of prejudice is somewhat pro­ portional to the size and number of conflicting groups. No matter what the population of the town is it has its "Polack" section,"Guinea" section,"Nigger" section,etc. In many instances the struggle is carried on to preserve one select group from an­ other, within a larger group. In New England towns the Yan­ kees and Swamp Yankees are constantly battling the second and third generation children of immigrants. In the northern areas it is the French-Canadian, in the middle and southern the Irish, Italian, Polish and Negro. One will find the farther south he goes the greater is the discrimination against the Negro. In the smaller northern towns there are very few col­ ored people and consequently the necessity for counteracting his influence is negligible.

  • Ro'i Jewish Movement.Indd
    13 How the Movement Was Funded Michael Beizer On January 2, 1986, the aliya activist Vladimir Lifshitz was arrested and imprisoned in Leningrad. Reacting quickly to the crisis, the family of the late Academician Vladimir (Yerahmiel) Yoffe, who had often supported Jewish causes in the past, offered to provide a living allowance to the wife and children of the accused man. The response, to their surprise, was: “Thank you so much—but they are already receiving aid.”1 The Yoffes did not know that by that time an effective support network had been estab- lished for Soviet Prisoners of Zion and aliya activists. The Sensitivity of the Topic No meaningful movement can be sustained without funding. Already in the movement’s early stages, in the late 1960s, activists in at least three cities—Moscow, Leningrad, and Riga—had a kitty at their disposal. When its “treasurer” received an exit permit, he would transfer the money to a successor. David Khavkin received his exit permit in July 1969 and con- signed to Meir Gelfond the money that he had accumulated for purposes of Zionist activity. Gelfond also had a small sum in his possession from be- fore the Six-Day War, and he received a further sum from Yosef Khorol who brought it with him when he left for Israel in 1969 (money that had reached Riga from Israel via Poland). As early as 1957, a number of former 1. This is how Boris Kelman, another Jewish activist, related the incident to the author in January 1986. On the Yoffe family, see: Berta Yoffe, Semeinye zapiski (Haifa, 2003).

  • 104. Report of the Commission of Inquiry Into the Events at the Refugee Camps in Beirut, 8 February 1983
    104. Report of the Commission of Inquiry Into the Events at the Refugee Camps in Beirut, 8 February 1983. Introduction At a meeting of the Cabinet on 28 September 1982, the Government of Israel resolved to establish a commission of inquiry in accordance with the Commissions of Inquiry Law of 1968. The Cabinet charged the commission as follows: "The matter which will be subjected to inquiry is: all the facts and factors connected with the atrocity carried out by a unit of the Lebanese Forces against the civilian population in the Shatilla and Sabra camps." In the wake of this resolution, the President of the Supreme Court, by virtue of the authority vested in him under Section 4 of the aforementioned law, appointed a commission of inquiry comprised as follows: Yitzhak Kahan, President of the Supreme Court commission chairman; Aharon Barak, Justice of the Supreme Court; Yona Efrat, Major General (Res.). The commission held 60 sessions, hearing 58 witnesses. As per the commission's requests of the Cabinet Secretary, the Office of the Minister of Defense, the General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces (henceforth, the I.D.F.), the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and other public and governmental institutions, the commission was provided with many documents, some of which were, in the course of the deliberations, submitted to the commission as exhibits. The commission decided, in accordance with section 13(A) of the law, that there was a need to collect data necessary for its investigation. Appointed as staff investigators were: Ms. Dorit.

Myers, Co-Chair Professor Arieh B. Saposnik, Co-Chair This study seeks to shed new light on the complex web of relations among history, historiography and contemporary life. It does so by focusing on Israeli commissions of inquiry that have taken rise in the wake of major national traumas such as failed battles in the 1948 War, the Yom Kippur War, and the assassination of the Zionist leader Chaim Arlosoroff. Each one of these landmark events in the history of Israel was investigated by a state or a military commission of inquiry, whose members and audience operate as authors of history and agents of memory. The study suggests that commissions of inquiry, which have been studied to date primarily as legal, administrative, and political bodies, in fact also operate as a public historian of a unique kind.
