6-02. Judaism and Anti-Zionism: Palestine and the Kibbutz

In this recording, part of a larger video memoir project, lifetime activist and educator Suzanne Ross recalls her early experience of being exposed to Zionism in Palestine on the kibbutz in the 1940s, before the creation of the state of Israel. Suzanne recalls that a constituent part of early Zionism was the creation of the "sabra," a tough-guy Jewish persona set up in supposed contrast to Jews who went "willingly" to the Holocaust. Suzanne relates that she learned later about Jews' tremendous resistance to the Holocaust, something she did not learn on the kibbutz in Palestine.
