Shown from the top. The whole column is in the enlargement.
Transcribed from the clipping
“Hardly one rifle or mortar to oppose… our original troops… the indomitable Jews of Jerusalem saved the Holy City from destruction.”
Context added by this archive
A forum at the Jewish centre in Salinas, two years after the war. Among the speakers is Private Bobby Gateo, 17. The archive holds very little of how 1948 was narrated to American audiences in person, in small cities, by people who had just been there.
