English translation
Up to 1917 the Turks ruled in the land of Israel. The Turkish rule was hard
for the Jews and the Arabs. The Turks were cruel and all the people in the
land of Israel were very happy when the British arrived to the land in 1917.
The British wrote the Balfour Declaration and there they wrote, "A Jewish
home should be built [to be built] for the Jewish people in the land of
Israel." But the Arabs of the land of Israel were very angry and pressured
the English to annul the Balfour Declaration. The Arabs also killed a lot of
Jews in Jerusalem and [in] Hebron. Then the English wrote the "White
Paper" [the white book] and in it they wrote that Jews are forbidden to
migrate to the land of Israel.
All the Jews who escaped from the Nazis in Europe couldn't come to Israel.
The Jews started a partisan war in the land of Israel. There were three major
groups which were fighting the English: "HaHagana" (the defense), "Etsel"
(National Military Organization), and "Lekhi" (Israel Liberty Fighters).
Many of the Jews who were in these groups were caught and were put in
prison in the Russian Compound.
