An Israeli journalist, B. Rosenthal, unearthed in German records a letter writtenduring the Third Reich from the Irgun, an outlawed army in Israel s early days. Inthis letter the writer entreated Hitler to join forces with the Irgun and Stern Gang,also a notorious and outlawed Israeli terrorist group, and work together with Hitlerwho would create a totalitarian state in Europe, while the Irgun/Stern Gang wouldcommit to simultaneously creating a totalitarian, Jewish state in Palestine. Thisletter was published twice, once in January 1982 and again in February in 1983in Haaretz , a newspaper which is published daily in Tel Aviv. There were manyreports of the terrorism practiced by the Irgun and Stern gang in the West Bank. One report was that of an old man sitting down outside his humble home to havelunch. As he began to eat his soup, a member of the Irgun strode by and shot him inthe heart. The elderly man dropped dead over his food, dying instantly. This terrorpracticed by the Irgun and members of the Sterm Gang caused the panic that ledmany Palestinians to flee their homes. This book is an attempt to bring to light some deeply hidden aspects of Israel s history.
