Two letters sent from Gabriel Mograbi, born in Syria, a member of the Irgun, from the Fourth Aliyah, while he was detained in the Asmara refugee camp in 1945, [and other letters sent by Mugrabi's father to the British police headquarters in 1946 to regulate Mugrabi's status after returning home].
In his letters, Mograbi tells of a hunger strike carried out by the bans in the camp that helped improve their food, tells jokes, And about learning in the camp, and expresses his longing to return to Israel. In letters sent by his father in Israel, the father appeals to the British headquarters to remove various restrictions imposed on his son as to leaving home, and various occupations, after he was released from Asmara and returned to Israel.
Between 1944 and 1948 some Irgun and Lehi members were arrested and deported on 12 transports to detention camps in Africa. The detention camps in which they were held were Sembel, near Asmara, the capital of Eritrea, Carthage in Sudan, and Gilgil, Kenya, north of Nairobi. In the camp, the deportees held active cultural activities in the form of sports activities and competitions. The exiles were returned to their country two months after the establishment of the State of Israel in July 1948.
Attached the Mugrabi reserve certificate with an emergency travel voucher.
