"Hedim, internal newspaper of the youth house 'HaShomer HaTzair' in Schwebda", dedicated to the Ghetto Fighters day. Schwebda Palace, Germany, April 1947, Yiddish.
Handwritten "internal newspaper" (most probably - the only copy), with mounted photos (newspaper clippings and cut out illustrations). In the paper appear texts composed by "HaShomer HaTzair" guides in Schwebda Palace, where they managed a house for children, holocaust survivors. It includes texts about Mordechai Anielewicz, memories from the Vilna Ghetto, texts about Warsaw and Bialystok during the war, partisans' struggles, and more. Most texts are signed with first names of "HaSHomer HaTza'ir" boys and girls, members of "Benot Midbar", "Hotrim" and "Hasneh" groups.
The cover was also made by hand, with the inscription "Hedim" made up of cut out letters, and illustration of a faulty swastika and an allegoric illustration of a hand raising a knife (with the flag of Israel) on the background of Ghetto houses and barbed wires.
[19] leaves bound with a string and inserted in a cardboard cover, 21.5X34 cm. Fair-good condition. Foxing. Folding marks to some leaves. Creases and tears at margins of some leaves. Defects and tears to cover.
