"Idishe jugent, der yam ruft dikh!" [Jewish youth, the sea calls you!], poster issued by Noham (No'ar Chlutzi Meuchad) in Germany, calling to join the seamanship training group "Kovshei HaYam" [Hebrew: Conquerors of the Sea] in the Deggendorf DP camp, near Munich. Printed by F. Bruckmann KG, Munich, [1947]. Yiddish.
A poster announcing the opening of a new training course of "Kovshei HaYam" seamanship training group in the Deggendorf DPC, calling young boys and girls, 17-24 years of age, with a minimum of five years school education and a certificate declaring that they are in good health, to turn to the representatives of the Jewish Agency in the camp, or to Noham organization representatives or to the director of “Kovshei HaYam”, Shlomo Steindel, and enroll in the training program of sailors, fishermen and seamen.

Good-fair condition. Folding marks. Restored tears (slight paint restorations). Linen-backed for display and preservation.
