Hechaluz: Various documents

This microfilm collection of documents relates to the activities of the Hechaluz, the umbrella organisation founded in 1917 to propagate the settlement of Jews from the Diaspora to Kibbutzim in Palestine.

The documents deal with the possibilities of agriculture and artisan training open to young Jewish people during the Third Reich, on farms or in workshops organised under the auspices of the Reichsvertretung der Juden in Deutschland. The documents are accompanied by a letter from the Irgun Olej Merkas Europa, to the Landesversicherungsanstalt Rheinprovinz in 1976, in which a number of questions addressed by the latter to the former concerning the organisation of training opportunities for young Jews were answered.
