Also featured are reports from the Congress of She’erit Ha-Pletah in Germany, as well as rare articles under the title “Their Name is Six Million”—on the victims of the death camps, the silence of the world in the face of the murder of the Jews during the Holocaust, clandestine immigration (Aliyah Bet) to Eretz Israel and the efforts to reach its shores, and the struggle waged by various organizations against the British Mandate in Palestine. Among the issues is one dated May 1, 1948, addressing the establishment of the State of Israel, with a lead article titled “The Fear of the Jewish State, ” alongside reports on battles of the War of Independence, the end of the British Mandate, and more.
נייוועלט (“New World”) was the biweekly publication of the Poale Zion Left movement in Germany. The movement operated among Jewish teenagers and young adults in the post–World War II years in Munich—the center of the Jewish She’erit Ha-Pletah. The leftist faction (Poalei Zion Left) upheld internationalist ideals and was heavily influenced by Marxist thought and collaboration with the Communist movement, while maintaining a commitment to Jewish identity and national connection to Eretz Israel. In the pages of Naye Welt, Holocaust memory was given voice directly by survivors—then still considered “displaced persons”—who already had the vision and resolve to look ahead toward a new future.
Paper slightly fragile. Overall good condition.
