The rainfall was considerable replenishing wadis and streams in the Western Galilee putting a smile on the faces of Matzuva Agriculture workers and the Matzuva community. However, the amazing thing is that the Tel Aviv and Sharon area have had a more plentiful rainfall with flooding than in the Galilee and the Golan. Our need is much greater than theirs! I look out of window today and I see a fine rain falling – the Med Sea to the west is covered with an enormous black cloud – will it give forth in Western Galilee or in South Lebanon or both?? It is with much sadness that Miriam Sha'ar was buried at the Matzuva cemetery during October after a prolonged period of ill health. The week preceding the funeral the entire Sha'ar family celebrated Miriam's 70th birthday with her in Eilat. was born in the Romania/Transylvania in 1944.

The Hashomer Hatzair Antwerp (1920-1948) Janiv Stamberger Promotor: Prof. Dr. R. Van Doorslaer Acknowledgements There are lots of people without whose help and support this thesis could not possibly have been written and while each of them should be accorded a bit of space or a kind line I have had to restrict myself to a select group of people. I express my sincere apologies to the people I forgot to mention, but I rest assured that they know that no spite or harm was intended and that they know that their help and assistance was and is warmly appreciated. First and foremost I would like to thank my promoter Prof. Doc. Rudi Van Doorslaer who first introduced me to this wonderful subject and whose patient guidance and advice helped shape the contents and outline of this thesis. I also would like to thank Pascale Falek and Gertjan Desmet for their help in introducing me to the various archives in Belgium where information regarding the movement is kept. In Israel I would like to thank the staff of Yad Ya’ari in Givat Haviva for their kind help and the wonderful soup that was each time offered to me kindly. I would also like to thank Daniela of the Moreshet archive, also in Givat Haviva, for her help. In Jerusalem I would like to thank the staff of the Central Zionist Archives and the staff of the Hebrew University Oral History department.
