Two young assassins prompt
book about Israeli resistance
PARTY PIC OF THE WEEK
=the picture man;
By STAC1 KR \MF.R
In 1944 two members of the
Israeli Stern Gang assassin
ated the British Prime Minis
ter of State for the Middle East
at his home in Cairo. Egypt
The victim. Walter Edward
Guiness, Lord Moyne, was the
highest ranking British official
in the Middle East and a close
friend of Winston Churchill. The
assassins. Eliyahu Bet Zouri
<age 22) and Eliahu Hakim,
'age 17). were captured and
brought to trial before an
Egyptian court
c BooRs
In January. 1945, Gerold
Frank, an American war
correspondent assigned to the
Middle East first saw the two
assassins. It was a sunny
Wednesday morning, the first
day of their trial for murder
and the first time the outside
world had allowed to see them
The two boys conversed with
the correspondents, answering
their questions calmly and in
good spirit. As they spoke,
Gerold Frank began to ask
himself the questions that
would lead him on a 20 year
search culminating in his book.
The Deed.
Frank states in the preface,
“this story has haunted me for
nearly twenty years. I have not
been able to write it before.
Now. after having written a
number of books dealing with
quite different subjects, I have
found it possible to put The
Deed on paper.”
It is never easy to report on
events as they occur, but to
take events that occurred in
1944-45 and make them matters
of interest for a generation
that was not even alive at the
time, is extremely difficult.
The Deed
Gerold Frank
Berkley Books
On the outskirts of Cairo, in an area
time has long since passed by, is the
ancient Bassatin Cemetery. Here those of
the Hebrew faith have been buried for
more than twelve centuries. Among those
said to lie here are Moses Maimonides, the
greatest of the medieval Jewish philoso
phers, who died in 1204, and Rabbi Jacob
ibn Hayyim, mystic and miracle worker,
whose weeping followers brought him here
one thousand years ago. The yellow sand
has crept over everything.
Here, in a remote corner amid the
debris and neglect of ages, one finds a
single square stone, taken from the hills of
Mokattam, the low mountain range near
Cairo from which the Pharaohs quarried
the stone to build the pyramids. It is not
large—perhaps two feet high, perhaps
three feet wide. There is no name on it,
but only the words chiseled in Hebrew:
PRAY FOR THEIR SOL'LS
—from The Deed
With his thorough methods of
investigation he pieced to
gether a portrait of terrorism
as it existed in British
Palestine, and a reasonable,
credible thesis on the reasons
for its existence.
The book is an "anatomy of
an assassination.” Frank ex
plores the lives of the two
Eliahus, delving even into their
childhoods. The Deed is not
just a character sketch of the
two; it is an explanation of the
events leading to the formation
of their actions
The reader is introduced to
most of the leaders of the
Israeli resistance, including a
young Menachem Begin. Frank
also includes a enlightening
history of these leaders and the
organizations they belong to.
His observations and presen
tation of the trial gives the
reader a sense of narticioation.
It is a somewhat eerie feeling
to be present at an event which
occurred years before you
were bom This is the true test
of a historical narrative, to
make past events come alive
for future generations
It is a test that Gerold Faulk
passed with flying colors. Of
all the histories of the
Resistance this is not only the
most concise and relevant, but
it is the most interesting.
It is one of the most valid
explanations of the creation of
today's Israeli. Once you have
read this, it is easier to
comprehend the people who
have been forced to see death
as a way of life and have coped
to the best of their abilities
with tragedy after tragedy
Yet, it is a task that Gerold
Frank has accomplished with
great expertise.
The search began in the
Cairo courtroom, and by the
time it was finished Frank had
interviewed most of the 50 or
so people involved with the
deed. He had traveled to the
Middle East over a dozen
times, each time revisiting the
homes of two assassins and the
scenes familiar to them. He
retraced the steps of the
crime, time and again search
ing for the extra clues he
needed
Frank had seen a side of
Israel and its people that few
outsiders had ever known.
