Four Irgun youths, searching for British soldiers …
Years: 1947 - 1947
April
Four Irgun youths, searching for British soldiers to serve as retaliatory victims, had been caught with whips in December of the previous year.
One had been beaten so badly that he died, and the other three have been sentenced to death, joining another Irgunist already so sentenced.
The four go to their deaths at Acre bravely singing the Zionist anthem before dawn on April 16, 1947.
