De Jeugdalijah van het Paviljoen Loosdrechtsche Rade 1939-1945
136 pagina's met foto's.Het zionisme de beweging binnen het Joodse volk die streeft naar een Joods Nationaal Tehuis in Palestina groeide in aanhang gedurende de jaren ’30 van de twintigste eeuw. Omdat enerzijds landbouwers en vaklieden in Palestina hard nodig waren en anderzijds het zionisme zich ten doel stelde het joodse volk om te vormen tot een volk van niet uitsluitend handelaars en intellectuelen maar ook van boeren en ambachtslieden kwamen in heel Europa verenigingen voor Palestina-pioniers op die de omscholing verzorgden. In 1939 vestigde zich ook aan de Rading in Loosdrecht een groep Duitssprekende Joodse jongeren. Ze stonden bekend als de jeugdalijah en werkten bij boeren en ambachtslieden in de omgeving om het vak te leren. In de oorlog ontstond onder leiding van Joop Westerweel een verzetsgroep van zowel joodse als niet-joodse mensen die zich ervoor inzetten de jongeren te redden van de jodenvervolging. In deze bundel worden de leden van de jeugdalijah op persoonlijke wijze beschreven. De verhalen van hun levens en lotgevallen vormen samen met de vele illustraties een levendige herinnering aan deze bijzondere groep jonge mensen. Verloren hardcover
