Binyan, Organ of the Senior Section of Habonim, London, April 1945.

I came across this magazine in my search for Anglo-Jewish ephemera. Apart from capturing the moment of a British, Socialist Zionist Youth Movement just before the end of the war, I found it included a letter on page 11 from Ivor Blankfield, my mother’s first cousin, then serving in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve.  Siblings Ivor, Michael and Jeanne Blankfield, all from London, were among the founders of Kibbutz Kfar Hanassi.

Here is the magazine:

  1. A chilling contemporary account detailing valour in the face of the overwhelming forces that could not ultimately defeat them – or us.
    Thank you.
