a new book by Dr Nurt Cohen Levinovsky...off topic//<br />a new book by Dr Nurt Cohen Levinovsky a historian and author of 'Jewish Refugees During the War of Independence,' tells the story of the Jewish refugees within the Land of Israel during the war of Independence. There was a total of circa 60,000 Jewish refugees within the country, she says. Most of them could go home after the war [as in south Tel Aviv] since the Jews won the war. But many could not, such as the Jewish refugees from the Shimon haTsadiq quarter in Jerusalem who could not go home afterwards since Jordan [then transjordan] had taken over their homes. There were thousands of other Jews who could not go home after the war [Beyt ha`Arava, Gush `Etsion, Neveh Ya`aqov, etc].<br /><br />The link is to a radio interview with the author in english<br />https://www.facebook.com/TLV1Radio/posts/792314850816626?hc_location=ufi<br /><br /><br />Eliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.com
