Kibbutz Zerubavel - Hamburg (Seafaring Hachshara)

The fishing hachshara training center „Kibbutz Zerubavel“ existed in 1946 in Blankenese, near Hamburg. The Jewish Agency and the left-wing Poale Zion movement ran the Zerubavel fishing kibbutz, where they offered mainly young, Eastern European-Jewish displaced persons (DPs) training to enable them to immigrate to the British Mandate of Palestine. In addition to promoting the Jewish shipping and fishing industry, the left-wing Poale Zion Deutschland also aimed to (re)establish a close connection to the land and sea of Erez Israel and thus contribute to the recovery of the Jewish nation and the socialist formation of the envisaged new Jewish state.
