My prized possession:
The front page of the daily American Yiddish newspaper “Der Tog” ("The Day"), May 15, 1948, the day after Israel’s independence. On that day the paper was produced in blue ink. My grandfather saved it for me, giving it to me about five years after his death.
The large headline says, Iddishe Melukha: "Jewish State."
"Recognition from America"
“Ben Gurion proclaims Jewish State: 'Israel'”
Lower left corner: Truman, Herzl, and Ben Gurion
1,978 years after the destruction of Jerusalem.
