National Library Seeks Personal Diaries and Accounts from 1948
“The National Library of Israel is gathering diaries and personal written accounts from the period of the establishment of the State of Israel, part of its Operation Diary: The Founding Generation for Israel’s 75th.
The project is meant to highlight the personal stories and circumstances documented by famous people, such as poet Hannah Szenes, as well as ordinary folk who were caught up in the extraordinary circumstances of those times.
The Library is inviting the public to search their homes in hopes of discovering additional accounts of those historic times, with the aim of including more personal experiences in documenting social history.”
