Jabotinsky Institute

Tel Aviv


Political history buffs will enjoy this research organisation's small museum that presents the history and activities of the Etzel (Irgun), an underground militia founded by Ze’ev Jabotinsky in 1931. Exhibits concentrate on Jabotinsky's political, literary and journalistic activities, and also document the creation of the Jewish Legion (five battalions of Jewish volunteers who served in the British army during WWI).
