Unusual pot metal Chaim Arlosoroff medal, 4"x5", with image of the assassinated Zionist leader at center of Star of David. Fine condition. Haim Arlosoroff (1899-1933) was a Zionist leader of the Yishuv during the British Mandate for Palestine, prior to the establishment of Israel, and head of the Political Department of the Jewish Agency. In 1933, Arlosoroff was assassinated while walking on the beach in Tel Aviv. In addition to the theories that people connected to the revisionist movement were the perpetrators of the murder, or that it was an intended sexual attack by two Arabs, there are theories connecting it to the Soviet and Nazi regimes.
