The Assassination
On Friday, June 16, 1933, while walking with his wife Sima on the beach in Tel Aviv, Chaim Arlosoroff—a promising leader and a rising star in the Zionist movement—was shot dead at the age of 34, by two unknown assailants. The assassins quickly fled through the side streets of the city, taking with them the answer to a question that has been left unresolved to this very day: who killed Arlosoroff? Now, 85 years later, it is time to revisit the investigation and remove the cobwebs off the past.
