The "Ahawah" Children's and Youth's Home – Advertising Booklet – Photographs by Tim Gidal, Lou Landauer and Others
An advertising booklet issued by the "Ahawah" Children's and Youth's Home in Haifa. Tel-Aviv: Melnik-Propaganda, [ca. mid-late 1930s]. German and some Hebrew.
The booklet contains a long informational text accompanied by ten pictures: the playroom, a visit to the cowshed, plowing the field, the dining room, the kitchen, and more. Some of the pictures were taken by Tim Gidal and Lou Landuaer.
The "Ahawah" institution was founded in Berlin after the end of World War I as a home for child refugees from Eastern Europe, and later was turned into an orphanage for German-Jewish children. In 1922, nurse Beate Berger was appointed director of the institution; she changed its name to "Ahawah" and after the Nazis' rise to power, decided to move it to Palestine. A new building was built on the outskirts of Haifa with the assistance of the JNF and visas were obtained for the children of the institution with the assistance of Henrietta Szold. During the 1960s, the orphanage started working with the Youth Aliyah and today it operates under the name of "The Ahawah Children's and Youth's Village".
