Collection of Photographs – Youth Movements in Poland – "Hashomer Hatza'ir" – 1920s-30s
Collection of photographs of youth movements in Poland. [ca. 1920s-30s].
Among the photographs: • Two group photographs, titled in the plate: "Moshevet Kfirim Homoty 1926" and "Moshevet HaMenahalim be'Homoty'" (presumably these are photographs of "HaShomer Hatza'ir" group in Homoty, Poland). • Group photographs of youth movement members exercising acrobatics, and photographs of bicycle rides, a youth orchestra and more. • A group photograph of youth from Siemiatycze, titled in the plate: "Va'ad shel Sifriyat 'Tarbut' Siemiatycze 1927". • Photograph portraying a group of girls, titled in the plate: "kvutzat Kfirot 'Laor'…1929". • Photographs of "HaShomer Hatza'ir" exhibition, titled on the back in handwriting: "HaTa'arucha HaShomrit HaRishona. Warsaw, Hanukkah, 1924".
Enclosed: • Postcard with a letter in Yiddish to J. Syr (this collection of photographs belonged, most probably, to a member of the Syr family from Siemiatycze. On some of the photographs appear handwritten dedications to family members). • Group photograph from the first convention of newcomers from Siemiatycze in Tel-Aviv, 1934 (titled in the plate).
Most photographs are divided on the back for use as a postcard.
Total of 26 items (25 photographs and one postcard). Size and condition vary.
