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."
