      Underground Jewish Pamphlet Worth $32,000 at Auction


      A pamphlet authored by the Irgun underground Jewish Zionist movement and addressed to Jewish troops was sold for 16,000 pounds (almost $32,000) at a London auction last week. The pamphlet, in English, was written "from the soldiers of the underground to the soldiers of the occupation army" of the British Mandate.

      The document explains to the British soldiers that Jews in Israel went underground as British citizens would have done if Hitler had overrun Brtiain during Wolrd War II.
