Rare! Zionist board game in Hebrew, handmade wood - World War II. Double-sided. Palestine [Eretz-Israel]
A double-sided wooden board game, handmade, colorful and detailed. On the subject of immigration to the Land of Israel.
One side - the title "Settlement" in the center surrounded by scenes of a Zionist settlement character: a farmer plowing the land, a wagoner, a public bus, a kibbutz or tent camp, the House of National Institutions with the inscription "KKL" on the wall. Along with a number on the illustrations indicating that this may be a dice game.
Second side - seven circles within what appears to be an illustration of the European continent. The middle circle symbolizes "Eretz-Israel" with a Star of David and the brigade flag. Two circles with the game options: "prison", "review", "port", deportation".
The additional circles symbolize the countries through which one must pass in order to immigrate to the Land of Israel, including the hardships on the way.
