"Children and Youth Alija" & "Betar" - Prague

At Benediktská 685/2, the Jewish aid organization for the rescue of Jewish children and young people „Kinder- und Jugend-Alija“ was based. At the same time, the illegal headquarters of the Zionist youth association „Betar“ was located here.

 

Both associations aimed to organize child transports to Palestine; they were dissolved in 1942.
