Etzel Museum

The Etzel House, commonly known as Beit Gidi, is a museum located in Tel Aviv, Israel dedicated to the Zionist paramilitary organization Irgun, also known by its acronym Etzel.

The museum is named in honor of leading Irgun officer Amichai Paglin, codename "Gidi", and dedicated to the memory of the 41 Irgun fighters who died in the battle for Jaffa in 1948.The Museum consists of two buildings. The first one, on King George street, is the main one. It tells the story of the formation of Etzel. The second one is surrounded on three sides by the Charles Clore Park, with its fourth side facing the seafront. It is a glass structure standing on the ruins of a stone house of the Ottoman period, a leftover from the Arab district of Menachia that was razed in the battle. That separate part of the museum traces the underground activities of Etzel
