A view through the Star of David cut into the Memorial for the Yeshuv Volunteers in the Second World War, in Israel’s capital. For the context, see Wikimedia Commons. The Yeshuv Volunteers were Jews from the British Mandate for Palestine who between 1944 and 1946, during the latter stages of the Italian Campaign, served in the Jewish Infantry Brigade Group of the British Army. This touching memorial commemorates those of them who lie in foreign fields. Some assisted in helping holocaust survivors to reach Israel despite London’s exasperating bureaucratic timidity; see also Home Page and posts tagged .
