Graphically linking heroes from the Warsaw Ghetto and the quest for a Jewish State. Features Beitar founder Ze’ev Jabotinsky imprisoned by the British; images of fallen Beitar heroes: Dov Gruner, Joseph Trumpeldor, Shlomo Ben Yosef and David Raziel (“the first Jewish rebels”); a list of Beitar members killed fighting the Nazis.
