Biographical History

Miriam Yahieli was born 1919 in Grodno. She was an active member of the Hashomer Hatsair movement in Poland before WWII. After the outbreak of World War II, she fled to the Soviet Union where she was imprisoned and sent to a forced labor camp. After the war Miriam Yahieli returned to Poland and in 1946 illegally immigrated to Palestine, being imprisoned on the way in Cyprus and later on in the Atlit camp. She finally arrived in kibbutz Nir David, where she worked as a school and kindergarten teacher. In 1979, at the age of 60, she started working as an archivist in the Hashomer Hatzair archive Yaad Yaari, where she was responsible for processing of personal archives for more than 6 years.
