Abstract:
Examines the Eretz-Israeli leadership's representation and interpretation of three events related to Jewish history: the Tel-Hai incident (1920), the ghetto revolts in Nazi Europe (1943), and the voyage of the "Exodus" (1947). The ghetto uprisings were accepted as suitable to represent the Zionist movement and considered part of the struggle for a homeland. Many of the ghetto fighters were members of the Zionist youth movements; their revolt expressed - in the eyes of the Zionist leadership in Eretz-Israel - the successful internalization of Zionist values and could be presented as the culmination of Zionist aspirations to reform the Jewish people. The participation of non-Zionists in the fighting and the real motives behind the revolt, such as despair, were suppressed.
