Description
Judaica Palestine Calendar 5698 (1937). Berlin, 1937. 52 pp. Illustrated. Original paperback (minor damage to the cover). A rare calendar for the Jewish year 5698, published in Berlin in 1937 and thus under the conditions of the Nazi dictatorship. The publication combines the practical function of an annual calendar with a rich pictorial section: Numerous photographs on the calendar pages depict aspects of Jewish settlement in Eretz Israel, including landscapes, villages, agricultural work, community life and the infrastructural development of Jewish Palestine. The photographs convey a programmatic image of reconstruction, modernisation and self-organisation, making the booklet a vivid contemporary testimony to Zionist visual and commemorative culture. It is precisely the fact that it was published in Berlin that lends this item particular historical significance: it documents the enduring cultural, religious and ideological ties of German Jews to Eretz Israel at a time of increasing disenfranchisement, marginalisation and persecution.
