Kibbutz Buchenwald is the story of a nightmare that became a dream and a dream that became a reality. Emerging from the depths of the liberated concentration camp Buchenwald in the spring of 1945, a group of sixteen gaunt and battered young men organized and formed Kibbutz Buchenwald, the first agricultural collective in postwar Germany designed to prepare Jews for emigation to Palestine. What caused a handful of survivors to take their fate into their own hands within days of their liberation, at a time when most survivors were passively awaiting orders from the occupying forces? From what wellsprings did they draw the physical and emotional strength to begin life anew as Zionist pioneers in a world which had turned upside down? Judith Baumel's moving account of this courageous group is divided into two parts. Part One, entitled "The Dream," examines the kibbutz from its creation in Germany until the departure of the founding group for Palestine in the summer of 1945. Part Two, "The Reality," follows the members of Kibbutz Buchenwald into Palestine, where they eventually established their own independent settlement in 1948. This settlement exists as Kibbutz Netzer Sereni today. Drawing from the diaries of the kibbutz's founding members, Baumel provides a detailed account of an incredible story and places the central narrative in the larger contexts of communal living, European politics after the war, and the link between European Jewry and Israeli postwar nationhood. An afterword, "Where Are They Now," briefly describes the later life of each of the original kibbutz members.

Octavo. 267 (1)pp. Original tan cloth with brown lettering on cover and spine, protected by modern mylar. Gray endpapers. "The fascinating, sometimes almost hypnotic, peculiarity of this volume is that it blends and synthesizes three books into one. Firstly, there is a novel of a life made up of rare ingredients: Socialism, Zionism, kibbutz, Bauhaus, national planning, architecture on a local, then on an international scale. In second place, there is the story of building a country, agricultural settlements, urban housing, hospitals, exhibition pavilions, universities, up to the reconstruction of a united Jerusalem. Finally, we have a record of an architect, his creative products, his space-time language in the dynamics of its numerous contemporary trends" (Bruno Zevi). Arieh Sharon studied at the Bauhaus in Dessau under Walter Gropius and Hannes Meyer. He returned to Palestine in 1931 and became a critical contributor to early Israeli architecture and urban planning. He participated in developing the first master plan of the young state, reporting to the Prime Minister Ben-Gurion. In the Fifties, Sixties, and Seventies he designed many high-rise buildings in Tel Aviv for the government and public institutions. Profusely illustrated with extraordinary b/w photographs and architectural drawings and plans. Binding with minor wear along edges. Gutter at inside front cover professionally repaired.

This volume continues the narrative account of the history of the kibbutz movement from the outbreak of the Second World War onwards. This period included a number of dramatic and complex developments: the effects of the world war and the Holocaust on the kibbutzim and their youth movements; the political struggles which led to the end of the British mandate; the War of Independence, including the role of the Palmach and the political controversy it engendered; the crises which followed the establishment of the State of Israel and the politics of the kibbutz movement in the early years of independence; and the kibbutzim's gradual adaptation to their new position in Israeli society and to the problems and challenges of a multi-generational society in the late twentieth century. Although the detailed narrative ends in 1977 (when the Israeli political system, and the status of the kibbutz, underwent a radical change), it is followed by a detailed overview describing the many developments which took place between 1977 and 1995. Much of the material is new in any language, and virtually all is new in English.Throughout, economic developments, immigration and agricultural settlement, political and ideological issues, and internal social developments are presented as interdependent and as vitally affected by-and often affecting-the changing fortunes of the Jewish people, the Zionist movement, and the Jewish community in Palestine/Israel. But the kibbutzim are also presented as a special instance of a widespread social phenomenon: communal and co-operative societies.

The two volumes of this work comprise the first comprehensive history of the kibbutz movement in any language. Origins and Growth, 1909-1939, covers the first thirty years of this fascinating story, from the formation of the first kibbutz in the opening years of the twentieth century to the eve of the Second World War. It is a masterly analysis of the genesis and expansion of the kibbutzim and their relations with the world around them. It considers not only the various components of the kibbutz movement but also the pioneering youth movements from which their members came. Professor Near's analysis of the ideological, political, economic, and social development of the kibbutz movement is illustrated throughout by excerpts from historical sources, affording a wealth of colourful insights into the changing quality of kibbutz life as experienced by its members. The second volume, Crisis and Achievement, 1939-1995, extends the detailed historical analysis to 1977 and gives a comprehensive overview of subsequent developments. (PRINT ON DEMAND)

How do women act when they are freed from most household chores, economically independent of their husbands, and have been living apart from their children from the time the children were approximately four weeks old? Given equal and similar social circumstances, do men and women behave in the same way in politics? the economy? warfare? ls equality of the sexes a viable concept, after all? Two important social scientists have asked these questions of and about the women in that provocative human experiment, the Israeli kibbutz. The conclusions are startling. The result is a major and myth exploding contribution to the literature of feminism and of utopias. Based on the lives of 34,040 kibbutz dwellers, and supported by tables, graphs, interviews, and elaborate computerized data, WOMEN IN THE KIBBUTZ provides the facts essential for a discussion, which has been until now all too rhetorical, of how women everywhere want to live a discussion set amid the current controversies about sex, gender, nature, and power. Here is a book that may change the very rules of discussion about men and women..

Set against the backdrop of it's glorious 100-year history, Inventing Our Life: The Kibbutz Experiment reveals the heartbreak and hope of Israel's modern kibbutz movement as a new generation struggles to ensure it's survival.

We meet first, second and third generation members fr

How the kibbutz movement thrived despite its inherent economic contradictions and why it eventually declinedThe kibbutz is a social experiment in collective living that challenges traditional economic theory. By sharing all income and resources equally among its members, the kibbutz system created strong incentives to free ride or―as in the case of the most educated and skilled―to depart for the city. Yet for much of the twentieth century kibbutzim thrived, and kibbutz life was perceived as idyllic both by members and the outside world. In The Mystery of the Kibbutz, Ran Abramitzky blends economic perspectives with personal insights to examine how kibbutzim successfully maintained equal sharing for so long despite their inherent incentive problems.Weaving the story of his own family’s experiences as kibbutz members with extensive economic and historical data, Abramitzky sheds light on the idealism and historic circumstances that helped kibbutzim overcome their economic contradictions. He illuminates how the design of kibbutzim met the challenges of thriving as enclaves in a capitalist world and evaluates kibbutzim’s success at sustaining economic equality. By drawing on extensive historical data and the stories of his pioneering grandmother who founded a kibbutz, his uncle who remained in a kibbutz his entire adult life, and his mother who was raised in and left the kibbutz, Abramitzky brings to life the rise and fall of the kibbutz movement.The lessons that The Mystery of the Kibbutz draws from this unique social experiment extend far beyond the kibbutz gates, serving as a guide to societies that strive to foster economic and social equality.
