For the sixty thousand German Jews who fled Nazi Germany and found refuge in Mandatory Palestine from 1933 to 1940, migration signified radical transformations: it altered their professional and cultural lives and confronted them with a new language, climate, and society. This book intertwines German-Jewish and Israeli history, narrating the story of German-Jewish migration to Mandatory Palestine/Eretz Israel as a gender history. It argues that this migration was shaped and structured by gendered policies and ideologies, experienced by men and women in a gendered manner—from the decision to immigrate and the anticipation of change, through the effects on family life, body, self-image, and sexuality.
