+*1947 - “PALESTINE EVENINGS” INAUGURATED The first of the “Palestine Evenings” was held in the [[Ca'doro]], on Wednesday, 15th October. [[Mrs M. T. Mann]], president of the [[Women’s Zionist Organisation]] occupied the chair, and welcomed the very large gathering. Commenting on the critical times which world Jewry were to-day passing through, Mrs Mann said that we must be prepared to-day, not only for the usual sacrifices connected with the upbuilding of Palestine, but perhaps even also for bloodshed. In the last two wars there had been a greater percentage of Jewish men than of others, fighting for other countries. Why should this sacrifice not have been made for our own land, she asked, and expressed the hope that young people would come forward to help in our battle for life. Mrs Mann then introduced the.guest speaker for the evening, Miss [[Hannah Stein]], one of the leading young members of the Zionist movement in this country. Starting off with a description of the atmosphere in Palestine when the members of the UNSCOP arrived there, Miss Stein gave a most interesting account of their stay in, K Eretz, and the different receptions which they received from the Arab and Jewish sections of the population. She then moved to Italy describing the dreadful conditions in which thousands of Jewish refugees live, in Milan and other towns, and the hopelessness which is settling in the minds of these unfortunates who feel that they will never get out of their plight. There were a few camps and Kibbutzim where youth lived as though in Palestine, but in every such industrial and agricultural training centre which she visited. the question she was asked on all sides was always the same: “A prisoner knows why he is imprisoned and when he will be allowed out. We don’t know. When will we get out?” After a resume of the recommendations adopted at the Actions Committee Conference in Zurich, [[Miss Stein]] analysed the attitude of the British Government during this period, pertinently asking on what basis of justice they could keep 100,000 troops in Palestine without the will either of Jews or Arabs, yet now that it came to helping with -a solution, they cannot see their way to keeping troops there, Miss Stein warned the audience that Jews must brace themselves for the great work and sacrifices which will be needed as soon as_a Jewish State becomes ours in fact. More money than ever will be needed; people from Europe will have to be brought over, sustained and trained; the Negev has to be developed and the Huleh deswamped. There was no limit to the funds which would be needed to carry out every project sucessfully. And Jews from the English-speaking world would be very urgently required to balance both psychologically and financially, those immi-- grants from Europe. Politically, too the speaker pointed out, our fight must be continueq to the utmost. The press campaign in this country has the definite aim of poisoning the minds of the public and it was therefore our duty to counteract this with every means at our disposal. Miss Stein was far from despondent as to the future and her address should have made her audience face the future with clear eyes and courageous determination. Many questions followed after tea was served, and Miss Stein excelled herself in the manner of her replies, a fact which the audience recognised by the loud and prolonged applause when -she finished. Mr [[Louis Wolfson]], chairman of the [[Zionist Organisation]] in his vote of thanks both to the speaker and Mrs Mann, drew attention to the Palestine Evenings which he hoped would become known to all members of the Jewish public. It was desired to embrace the entite community on as wide a basis as possible and to supply a platform on which every matter pertaining to Jewish martters could be thrashed out and discussed. < Referring in amusing terms to the “Shidduch” which had been arranged between his and Mrs Mann’s organisation, Mr Wolfson paid tribute to the *“Shadchan,” Mr E. Woolfson whose idea it was, and hoped that the “Mechutonim” would help to make it the success it deserved to be. He announced that the following week’s speaker would be Dr M. Friedlander on the subject &Ts European Jewry Doomed to Extinetion” after which the evening concluded with the singing of Hatikvah.<ref>Jewish Echo - Friday 24 October 1947</ref>
