The Jewish Brigade in Libya - Photograph Collection
19 photographs of Jewish Brigade soldiers who served in Libya around 1944.
Private photographs of soldiers in uniform, who served in the Jewish Brigade in Benghazi and its surroundings. Some are described and dated in handwriting on the reverse: 'On the way to Liberation,' 'Benghazi 25/4/1944,' 'To Batyah ... from Avraham, Benghazi, 23/3/1944' and more.
After North Africa was captured from the Germans by the British army, Jewish Brigade soldiers arrived in Benghazi in 1943. The soldiers made contact with the Jewish community in the city, and even established a Hebrew school in Benghazi and were involved in its function.
Most of the photographs are 8x6 cm, some are larger or smaller. Fine condition.
