Sha'a Gedola BeChayei HaUma [A Great Hour in the Nation's Life], by Prof. Joseph Klausner. A booklet from the series "El-Al Library", published by "El-Al Students' Union" in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [1935]. Hebrew.
On the title page appear 9 signatures of members of the Students' union "El-Al", a union of Revisionist students, signed during a "festive party of El-Al union, 12-3-1935". Among the signatures are those of Avrhaham Yaari, Isaac Katz, S. Trachtman, Borovsky (?), and others, as well as the signature of the fourth commander of Irgun - David Raziel.
David Raziel (1910 Vilnius - 1941 Iraq), immigrated to Palestine with his family when he was three years old; but since the family had a Russian citizenship they were deported and wandered for eight years until they returned to the country. Raziel graduated from "Tachkemoni" school where his father served as a teacher, and continued his studies in Yeshivat Merkaz HaRav in Jerusalem. At the same time, he studied in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and was a member of the students' union "El-Al".
Considering the events in Europe when World War II broke out Raziel announced that the negative attitude towards the British has to cease in order to fight the Nazis. In 1941 Raziel was sent by the British to Iraq to suppress an anti-British uprising. He headed a commando unit of four people and was killed during an attempt to occupy Faluja, by a German aircraft bomb.
