Podróż do Palestyny dziennikarki Pauliny Appenszlak

Abstract

This article presents a series of reportages by Paulina Appenszlak (Appenszlakowa) entitled „Noce palestyńskie” (Palestinian Nights), which resulted from her trip to Palestine in 1934. The reports were printed in the Warsaw-based ‘Lektury. Tygodnik Literacko-Społeczny’, which was published between January and May in 1934. In it, the reporter included a description of the lives of young female emigrants from Europe who had set to work to create a strong new Jewish state. Appenszlakowa wandered through kibbutzim and cities, two of which were particularly important: Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. However, the main characters in her description are the women, their struggle and hardship, their hard work and ordinary dreams.
