Urgent letter by the leaders of The 'League for the Working Land of Israel' in Wiszniewo. Poland, 1935
S.O.S. - "Urgent !!! To all our friends in Rechovot", a handwritten letter from the "League for the Working Land of Israel" in Wiszniewo requesting urgent assistance while the youth stopped performing in the nest. Wiszniewo, Poland [then], 1935.
"We turn to you at an A fateful hour". In their letter, the league members state that the rabbi of the town came to the Tarbut school: "Gathered all the mothers and preached before them words of venom and hatred against the Zionist youth unions, on the 'Hashomer Hatzair' imposed a boycott." and how he caused the youth to stop coming and perform at Ken Hashomer Hatzair. "As you can see, the situation is more terrible and tense than it once was, even in the worst of times".In response to the depletion of the movement, the members propose to stop organizing dance parties, and to move to the social activity of charitable giving and mutual help, and ask their friends in Rechovot to help them financially.
The letter is signed by the group's leaders, including Zvi Meltzer (Shimon Peres' grandfather, who perished in the Holocaust in 1942), Dov Levin, Zeev Shuv, and Moshe Rabinowitz. As well as the ink stamps of the league, the Wiszniewo branch of the Histadrut "Hechalutz" and the "Hashomer Hatzair" branch in Wiszniewo.
