Seventeen forms with medical examinations results, issued by Jüdische Jugendhilfe [assistance for Jewish youth] for would-be immigrants to Palestine. Vienna, Berlin, Zurich, Freiburg, Tachov (Czechoslovakia) and other places. 1938. German.
Jüdische Jugendhilfe [Assistance for Jewish youth] was the official title of "Aliyat HaNo'ar" organization in Germany, meant to mask its Zionist goals. The organization was founded in 1933 by Recha Freier, and acted to unite Jewish youth movements, to give their members professional training and to obtain immigration certificates to Palestine. On the eve of World War II, due to the difficulty to get immigration certificates and to absorb more young people in Palestine, the selection process became stricter and included medical and physical examinations.
Presented here are seventeen official forms of the organization with results of examinations of candidates for immigration. Appearing on each form are the details of the candidate, his family members, tests results and an evaluation of how fit he is for immigration. The forms are printed, filled-in by hand and by typewriter and ink-stamped by the physicians who performed the tests and with various hand-signatures. On the last page of six forms appear additional handwritten inscriptions, probably by position holders in the training camps.
Seventeen forms (4 pp per form). Approx. 21X29.5 cm. Good overall condition. Stains, creases, filing holes and folding marks. Slight tears at margins of some.
