520 $aKibbutz Buchenwald is the story of a nightmare that became a dream and a dream that became a reality. Liberated from the depths of the concentration camp at 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 emigration to Palestine.
520 8 $aWhat 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 that had turned upside down?
520 8 $a. Judith Baumel's moving account examines the kibbutz from its creation in Germany until the departure of the founding group for Palestine in the summer of 1945. She then 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.
520 8 $aDrawing 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 briefly describes the later life of each of the original kibbutz members.
