Notes	Eli Amir, one of the greatest writers in Israel, publicist, researcher and public figure. Amir was born in Baghdad, Iraq, in 1937. At the age of 13, he immigrated to Israel with his family who were sent to an immigrant crossing. Amir was educated in Kibbutz Mishmar Ha'emek but left the place to help support his family. He moved alone to Jerusalem where he lives to this day, worked during the day and studied at an Arab high school and earned a high school diploma. After his military service, he worked in various positions in the Prime Minister's Office, advanced in his positions in the public service and later served for twenty years as the CEO of the Youth Aliyah at the Jewish Agency. He served as a member of the Jerusalem Municipality Council and ran for a seat in the Knesset on behalf of the Labor Party and published many articles on political and social matters, especially on issues of social disparities. His first book, 'A Rooster of Atonement', published in 1983, received a great response and entered for the high school curriculum. His other books, including The Pigeon Lover, Yasmin, The Bicycle Boy, and Amber String, were bestsellers and received various adaptations in the cinema and the theater. The Eli Amir archive at the National Library includes correspondence, manuscripts of his works, lists of his lectures and research, articles and literary works of Amir in Hebrew and other languages, articles about him and his work, interviews with Amir audio and video recordings. The archive includes correspondence, typewritten and computer manuscripts of Eli Amir's books, marriage certificates and awards he won, drafts of his lectures and articles, materials related to his public activities, printed matter - his works and articles in print - in Hebrew and in translation into other languages, photographs, recordings and more.
