Project Description
DFG Research Project: "Between Aliya and Escape. Jewish Youth Movement and Zionist Education under the Nazi Regime and pre-state Israel 1933–1945".
The DFG project has been working at the TU-Braunschweig/Institute of Educational Science under the direction of Prof. Dr. Ulrike Pilarczyk in cooperation with the Koebner Institute for German History at the Hebrew University (HU) Jerusalem under the direction of Prof. Dr. Ofer Ashkenazi since 1 January 2023. It is funded for another three years and continues the research of the German-Israeli DFG project "National Jewish Youth Culture and Zionist Education in Germany and Palestine between the World Wars" at TU-Braunschweig and HU Jerusalem (2018-2022).
Data management and the sustainable preservation of the extensive source corpus is the responsibility of the cooperation partner Archive of the BBF | Library for Research on the History of Education, Department of the DIPF | Leibniz Institute for Human Development and Educational Information under the direction of Dr. Bettina Reimers.
This project seeks to expand and enrich the findings of the first project period, which highlighted the dynamics of the transnational, intergenerational pedagogic networks and development of youth culture among women and men who were inspired by Jewish-national ideologies prior to 1933. The results of the project’s first period accentuated the continuous impact of pedagogical ideas before emigration and after the arrival of the youth groups to Mandate Palestine. The ideological principles and institutions that supported Zionist upbringing and training since World War One, had played a fundamental role in facilitating Aliyah and escape of Jewish children and youth after 1933.
The current research considers the contribution of the Zionist youth movement to the survival of Jewish youth from Germany and Europe. We intend to analyze the emergence of the Youth Aliyah as a globally active Zionist education and rescue project, and its influence on the kibbutz movement and on the development of a new Zionist pedagogy in pre-state Israel. This approach is fundamentally transnational and geared towards the reconstruction of the divergent perspectives of those involved. Consequently, gender-related experiences and perspectives will take center stage in our analysis. We will also emphasize the roles of gender in the inter-generational nature of the discourse and the institutions that developed within the youth movement and shaped its activities.
