From Germany to Palestine; Social Work in Germany and the Emergence of Modern Welfare Systems for Jews in Palestine 1890 - 1948

The emergence of a modern system of social welfare and care in the Jewish community of Palestine in the decades before the founding of the State of Israel was largely carried out by immigrant German-Jewish social experts. So the book deals with a unique case of international transfer of professional knowledge.
