The Legacy of Henrietta Szold: Youth Aliyah's Founding Story

At the dawn of the Holocaust in Europe, in the 1930s, Henrietta Szold and a German colleague organized the rescue of thousands of Jewish children to safety in Palestine through Youth Aliyah. She met every boat as it arrived. Today, Hadassah still supports Youth Aliyah villages in Israel, which nurture and heal at-risk youth by setting them on a path to a successful future. Since 1934, over 300,000 young people in 80 lands have graduated from the Hadassah-supported youth villages.
