Although the members of the subcommittee do not want to make definitive judgments on the applicability of education in Israel to American needs, they are most favorably impressed by the great emphasis which the Israelis place on early childhood programs, vocational/technical education, and residential youth villages. The people of Israel are considered profoundly dedicated to the support of education at every level. The country works toward expansion of opportunities for education, based upon a belief that the educational system is the key to the resolution of major social problems. In the second part of the report, the detailed itinerary of the subcommittee is described with annotated comments about the places and persons visited. In the last part, appendixes describing in great depth characteristics of the Israeli education system (higher education in Israel, education and culture, and the kibbutz) are reprinted.

  • Wij-Articles-The Story of Marian Greenberg by Shira Koren-Final Edit-Dec24-10
    The Story of Marian Greenberg:1 The Forgotten Hadassah Activist1 The Story of Marian Greenberg:1 The Forgotten Hadassah Activist2 Shira Koren, Bar Ilan University, Ramat Gan, Israel Abstract Marian Greenberg devoted the majority of her life, nearly sixty years, to volunteer work at Hadassah, where she worked closely with Henrietta Szold. She was the first chairperson of Youth Aliyah, the organization that saved thousands of Jewish adolescents from the Holocaust, and undertook other management roles, committing herself fully to Hadassah and to the State of Israel. Yet, while Szold received immense credit for her management of Hadassah and Youth Aliyah, Greenberg and other volunteers have been all but forgotten from history. Interestingly, in her books, correspondences and other writings, Greenberg herself ignores her own role in the projects she was involved in, and instead gives all the credit to Szold. This article tries to do justice to Greenberg's legacy by exploring her life's projects and by suggesting why she was overlooked. This explanation may also be applicable for the other female Hadassah volunteers who worked with Szold but were forgotten from history Hadassah and Youth Aliyah – Background Information Most Jews in Israel and in the United States of America have heard of Henrietta Szold, the founder and chair of Hadassah, the American Women's Zionist organization. But if Israelis or American Jews were asked who Marian Greenberg was, very few would recognize her name or be familiar with her work. In 1912 Henrietta Szold, the organization's first president, and the Daughters of Zion, a women's study group, established Hadassah in New York City.

  • Illegal Immigrants on the Deck of the Pan York on the Day They Arrived in Israel, August 14, 1948
    Do Not Copy Illegal immigrants on the deck of the Pan York on the day they arrived in Israel, August 14, 1948 Yad Vashem Collections The Holocaust (Shoah) was an unprecedented genocide, total and systematic, perpetrated by Nazi Germany and SHOAH its collaborators with the aim of annihilating the Jewish people, culture and traditions from the face of the Earth. The The primary motivation for the Holocaust was the Nazis’ antisemitic racist ideology. Between 1933 and 1941, Holocaust Nazi Germany pursued a policy of increasing persecution that dispossessed the Jews of their rights and property, and later branded and concentrated the Jewish populations under their rule into designated areas. By the end of 1941, the policy had developed into an overall comprehensive, systematic operation that the Nazis called “The Final Solution to the Jewish Question.” These policies gained broad support in Germany and across much of the European continent. Nazi Germany designated the Jews of Europe, and eventually the rest of the world, for total extermination. Alongside the mass extermination of millions by shooting, millions of Jews from all over Europe were rounded up and deported on freight trains to extermination camps—industrial facilities in which they were gassed to death. During the entire process of registration, rounding-up and boarding the trains, the Germans deceived the victims as to the real purpose of their journey. By the end of WWII in 1945, some six million Jews had been murdered. Do Not Copy A photograph sent from the Eastern front by a German soldier. Written on the back of the photo: "Jews in an Aktion, Ivangorod, Ukraine, 1942".

  • Post-War Immigrants in Austria
    PANEL 1: Memory and identity Melanie Dejnega (University of Bielefeld, Germany) Post-war immigrants in Austria: identity and belonging in life story interviews By the end of the Second World War, more than one million refugees came to Austria, of which about half a million stayed. Their background and wartime experiences were as varying as could be. Some of them were survivors of the Holocaust or of forced labor, others were members of German speaking minorities having been expelled from South-Eastern and Eastern Europe. However, all of them share the experience of integration into Austrian postwar-society. The situation they faced in Austria was difficult, particularly for those, who did not speak German. These “first immigrants of the Second Republic” who are still alive have been living in Austria for more than sixty years so far. In my paper I will analyze several life story interviews conducted with representatives of this group: I will focus on the constructions of identity and senses of belonging as they are reflected in narratives of the life story by introducing and applying a narratological method. Hence my paper elucidates not only concepts of identity and belonging of post-war immigrants in Austria, but also evaluates, to which extent narratological methods can contribute to analyze life story interviews. Melanie Dejnega, Mag. studied History, Sociology and Spanish at the University of Vienna, Humboldt University and Freie Universität Berlin; Master Thesis (2008) about the impacts of compensation policy on narratives in life-story interviews with survivors of Mauthausen Concentration Camp .
