A couple of weeks ago, the senior citizen "
vattimkim," program I attend every week had a field trip to Jerusalem. I already blogged about our
visit to the Jerusalem Municipality complex at Safra Square where we saw their amazing scale model of some of the city.
Just behind Safra Square is what's known as
Migrash Harusim, the Russian Compound, in which there's a police station, jail and the jail that the British used when they were occupying the Land of Israel, during the Mandate.
There has been a museum there dedicated to the Jewish prisoners who had been arrested, held and executed by the British before the declaration of Independence of the State of Israel.
