Museum of Underground Prisoners in Jerusalem

All the information about the Museum of Underground Prisoners in Jerusalem. The permanent exhibition at the Museum of Underground Prisoners in Jerusalem takes visitors back to the Mandate period and the underground organizations of the Haganah, Etzel, and Lehi. The museum, located in the building of the Russian Pilgrims' Inn, which was built in the 1960s and became a prison, presents the prison as it was then—with the prisoners' cells, the solitary confinement cell, the gallows room, the synagogue, and the escape room. In addition to tracing the prison, the museum presents the personal stories of some of the prisoners who were captured during their struggle to defend the settlement, for free immigration, and for the establishment of the state. Among them are Rabbi Aryeh Levin, Joni (Gideon) Flai, and Bracha Pold, Moshe Barzani, and Meir Feinstein. The museum also displays an exhibit titled "Hopes and Disappointments," which presents the struggle of the underground organizations, and an exhibit titled "Free to Create," featuring handicraft works by underground prisoners.
