Archive documenting the work of Zvi Moshe Garti, a pacifist Zionist philosopher, active in Haifa at the time of the "Yishuv" in Palestine and in the early years of the State of Israel. Haifa and other locations, ca. 1910s to 1950s (most items from the 1930s and 1940s). Hebrew and some English. Archive documenting the work of Zvi Moshe Garti (1865- ?), a pacifist Zionist philosopher, native of Bulgaria. As a young man, he fought in the First World War. While still in uniform, he experienced a "spiritual awakening" and resolved to dedicate his life to furthering peace among the nations. He immigrated to Israel in 1920, settled in Haifa, and dedicated himself to disseminating his worldview by corresponding with senior British government officials, printing posters and booklets, and involving himself in all manner of related activities. He was particularly good at conceiving distinctive, complex emblems that expressed his thinking and the abstract (Hebrew) terminology he had coined, such as "the radical realist proletarian, " "the true alliance of democratic nations, " and so on and so forth. The present archive serves as a testament to his life's work: • "Voice of the Daughter of Zion" – a poster to mark the 20th anniversary of the "agreement signed between [US President Woodrow] Wilson and [Lord Arthur James] Balfour, Proclaimers of Freedom for the People of Israel." Printed in gold on heavy paper; affixed at center, a print bearing a novel version of the emblem "Liberated Judea" (originally an emblem appearing on medallions and other objects, representing a negation of the "Iudea Capta, " slogan appearing on Roman coins to mark the fall of Judea to the Roman army in 70 CE), this one showing US President Woodrow Wilson as the figure liberating the "Daughter of Zion" from her chains. Haifa, 1937. • Five metal printing blocks for relief and offset printing: various emblems designed by Moshe Garti. • Large sketch for the emblem titled "the Radical Realist Proletarian" (ink on heavy paper; damaged). • Some 15 manifestos, memoranda, and letters, circulated by Garti, most of them under the title "the Voice of Mankind at the Foot of Mount Carmel": The global crisis and its solution (an economic plan to benefit the unemployed and alleviate human suffering; a letter dating from the Second World War, addressed to the British colonial secretary in London – a promise to pray for the liberation of Europe at the foot of Mt.

"Certificate exodus 47." Poppendorf Displaced Persons Camp (northern Germany), 1947. Hebrew and English. Certificate with passport photo: "Certificate, Holder of this No. 2474 is a Maapil [illegal immigrant] of 'Exodus 1947:' he / she was brought by force to Germany from Haifa, and is in exile on his way back to Eretz-Israel." Marked with a circular inked stamp depicting a ship. Certificates of this type were apparently issued in order to enable refugees who sailed aboard the ship "Exodus" to identify fellow passengers, and to thus prevent the dispersal of the group in transit between the various displaced persons camps. Fearing attempts on the part of the British authorities to track the former passengers, these certificates bear no identifying details regarding the person in question other than the passport photos.
