Anyone recognize this place?
Here's a video from 1946.Let's go to the videotape.
Here's a description from the YouTube page:
Various shots of the large crowd gathered at Jerusalem's Haifa Road - location of the bomb explosion. Damaged buildings, rubble, glass etc. Children posing, looking at camera. Many orthodox Jews in traditional black suits, white shirts and hats seen. Several shots of the people clearing rubble.And of course, that should be Jaffa Road, not Haifa. I actually think the date on this is wrong. There's a list of Irgun attacks during the pre-Independence period here. I think it's this one:
1948, January 7 20 Arabs killed by bomb at Jaffa Gate.
