Collection of Documents – Yemenite Settlement in HaShiloach village – Silwan
Documents dealing with the demand of the Yemenite settlers of HaShiloach village to return to their homes and be compensated for their looted or destroyed property since they were obliged to leave their homes by order of the authorities during the riots of 1936-1939. In spite of promises by the British Governor, the settlers returned to their homes only after the State of Israel was established.
Amongst the documents: list of property taken from Yemenites' homes and demands for compensation; agreement regarding sale of land; letters to and from various national institutes (letters signed by Yitzchak Ben-Zvi) – requests for compensation and return to homes; correspondence concerning property ownership in HaShiloach village, etc. The lot also contains documents from 1967, when sixty Arab families from the Jewish Quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem were settled in Silwan and requests by HaShiloach village settlers to move into the Old City. Total of 70 documents, sizes and conditions vary.
