Kibbutz EIN HAROD

The day in Kibbutz

What is Kibbutz? How does it look like?
Every student imagined the place differently.
Before coming to Israel we had a lesson with our teacher of history. He told us some information about the landmarks, historical places and unusual sights in Israel which we are going to visit. One of them was Kibbutz.
Many Jews who came to Israel after the II WW they did not have any place to live. They set up their small communities. They resemble tiny towns or villages with amenities such as a hospital, a shop, a bank, a canteen, laundry, a diary. They even grow vegetables and keep farm animals. They are like one big family.

The first kibbutz - Deganja - founded in 1910, is located near the Lake of Tiberias in Galilee. Another well-known one named “Ghetto fightery,” was created in 1949 by Jews who had survived in Ghetto Uprising in Warsaw. The kibbutz our group visited was Ein Harod.

We met there a mother-in-law of Mr Kfir (teacher from Israel)- Sara. She was born in Poland. When she was a 10- year- old girl she came to Israel. Nevertheless, her Polish was great. She showed us how people live in the Kibbutz, what their jobs are like and how they spend time there. We saw a huge farm with cows and goats, thanks to which people make diary products.

The whole life there is very peaceful. Being there we felt like at home. In the end for farewell Sara gave us delicious apple pie. We were excited that we could visit this place and meet friendly inhabitants.

Sad history of the Castle Ksionzh

Ksionzh Castle is the largest castle in the Silesia region. The castle is just incredible. Also nature around castle are amazing – so many trees! And this landscape, just wow! But in the same time this beautiful place has very tragic history associated with World War II. During World War II, the castle was seized by the Nazi regime. Supervised by SS and Organisation Todt personnel, the building complex at Książ became part of the vast underground Project Riese complex, presumably a projected Führer Headquarter and a future abode for Adolf Hitler. Construction works were carried out under inhumane conditions by forced labourers and inmates of Gross-Rosen concentration camp, until the castle was occupied by Red Army forces in the wake of the Vistula–Oder Offensive in 1945. During the construction of the underground for the Nazis, hundreds of prisoners were killed here. Now parts of the tunnel complex beneath the castle are currently used by the Polish Academy of Sciences for grav
