Result Recommendation to the United Kingdom, as the mandatory Power for Palestine, and to all other Members of the United Nations the adoption and implementation, with regard to the future government of Palestine, of the Plan of Partition with Economic Union set out in the resolution[1]
Wikisource has original text related to this article:
United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181
The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine was a proposal by the United Nations, which recommended a partition of Mandatory Palestine at the end of the British Mandate. On 29 November 1947, the UN General Assembly adopted the Plan as Resolution 181 (II).[2]

The resolution recommended the creation of independent Arab and Jewish States and a Special International Regime for the city of Jerusalem. The Partition Plan, a four-part document attached to the resolution, provided for the termination of the Mandate, the progressive withdrawal of British armed forces and the delineation of boundaries between the two States and Jerusalem. Part I of the Plan stipulated that the Mandate would be terminated as soon as possible and the United Kingdom would withdraw no later than 1 August 1948. The new states would come into existence two months after the withdrawal, but no later than 1 October 1948. The Plan sought to address the conflicting objectives and claims of two competing movements, Palestinian nationalism and Jewish nationalism, or Zionism.[3][4] The Plan also called for Economic Union between the proposed states, and for the protection of religious and minority rights.

The Plan was accepted by the Jewish Agency for Palestine, despite its perceived limitations.[5][6] Arab leaders and governments rejected it[7] and indicated an unwillingness to accept any form of territorial division,[8] arguing that it violated the principles of national self-determination in the UN Charter which granted people the right to decide their own destiny.[6][9]

Immediately after adoption of the Resolution by the General Assembly, a civil war broke out[10] and the plan was not implemented.[11]

Dzigan & Schumacher Comedy team that performed in Yiddish theaters, cabarets, and films. Shimen (Szymon) Dzigan (1905–1980) and Yisroel Shumacher (or Szumacher; 1908–1961) were both born in Łódź. Dzigan was apprenticed as a teenager to a tailor, but when the well-known writer and poet Moyshe Broderzon noticed his improvised parodies of speakers at a banquet in 1927, he invited Dzigan to join the Ararat literary cabaret that he was founding in Łódź. The following year, Shumacher graduated from a Hebrew gymnasium and also joined the Ararat company. They began to perform together, first with Ararat and then in Warsaw with the troupe Yidishe Bande. In response to their growing popularity, in 1935 they founded their own cabaret company at the Nowości Theater in Warsaw. They also starred in the Yiddish films Al khet (I Have Sinned; 1936), Freylekhe kabtsonim (Jolly Paupers; 1937), and On a heym (Without a Home; 1938).

דז’יגאן ושומאכר – יידישפיל

The performances of Dzigan and Shumacher typically opened with skits based on items from daily newspapers. Their humor was aimed at antisemites and government functionaries, but also at themselves and their public. Routines based on domestic life would follow. Dzigan’s persona was that of a hyperactive, happy beggar, endlessly complaining about life as he darted about the stage with his signature red handkerchief hanging from his pocket. The bespectacled Shumacher, in fundamental contrast, was phlegmatic and restrained, glossing his Jewish troubles with subtle gestures of the shoulders and hands. Melech Ravitch spoke of them as incarnating the eternal spirit of Polish Jews via the decidedly unliterary medium of Łódź Yiddish. He also described them as two Don Quixotes sitting on a park bench (perhaps each hoping for a Sancho Panza in the other), one dreaming of Palestine and the other of Birobidzhan (Naye idishe tsaytung [Montreal]; 1953). Their routines were written by such writers as Broderzon, Yoysef-Shimen Goldshteyn, Moyshe Nudelman, and Itsik Manger; they also adapted older texts from Sholem Aleichem and others; material they wrote was often credited to “Shudzig,” from the first part of each of their names. In the years just prior to World War II, with Nazism next door and Polish antisemitism on the rise, Dzigan and Shumacher’s performances were “a consolation in those terribly difficult days and . . . revenge against our enemies” (Nudelman, 1968, p. 161).

With the German invasion of Poland, Dzigan and Shumacher fled to Soviet-occupied Białystok. There they reestablished their company and toured Minsk, Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Kharkov, and other Soviet localities packed with Jewish audiences hungry for a Yiddish word. When they attempted to leave the Soviet Union with the Polish army of General Władysław Anders, they were arrested and spent four years in prison, first in Tashkent and then in the Oktiabinsk labor camp. Even then, however, they were permitted to perform, both for Jews from the surrounding areas and at NKVD banquets. Released in 1946, they were arrested again in Lwów, but were finally able to reach Warsaw in 1947. There they starred in one of the first postwar films about the Holocaust, Undzere kinder (Our Children; 1948), directed by Natan Gross. In 1950 they arrived in Israel, where despite obstacles placed in the way of Yiddish culture, they soon found a large audience and also toured throughout the world. Dzigan exchanged his Hasidic kapote for the kibbutznik’s shorts and hat, but little else changed; Israeli generals and ministers were easily substituted for Polish ones. In 1951–1952 they managed their own theater in Buenos Aires. They finally established their own theater in Tel Aviv in 1958, but in 1960 they parted ways. Shumacher died the following year; Dzigan continued to perform comedy for another 20 years.
