Description

Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:
Single-sheet newspaper printed in Hebrew from 3.2.1949 titled "Shurot. Cyprus was an internment camp for Jewish refugees from the Holocaust who were captured and detained by British forces having been accused of attempting to gain entry to Palestine/Israel illegally. Cyprus internment camp was closed in February 1949. Thus, this appears to be the final issue of this newspaper. The cartoon depicting two sad angelic figures perhaps represents the stateless Holocaust refugees from Europe, with bags packed, yet uncertain as to when they might enter the promised land.
