JERUSALEM: Berl Keren is a man of his word. In 1945, he and eight other Jewish underground fighters vowed not to reveal where they had hidden weapons from the then British rulers of Palestine.
The British mandate ended and the state of Israel was born in 1948. All of his comrades eventually passed away, but Keren kept his word, refusing to say where the weapons cache lay beneath his Ein Hashofet kibbutz, south of Haifa.
Until March.
