The stories of Degania Alef.
Homes, streets and memorial sites.
The people who left something of themselves here.
Herman Kallenbach
The wealthy Jewish architect who gave up a life of comfort in South Africa and became Mahatma Gandhi's closest friend and financial supporter. The man who lived in a commune devoted to nonviolence and eventually found his final resting place in the soil of Kibbutz Degania.
Miriam Baratz
The pioneer who paved the way for women in Degania's cowshed, and became the first woman to marry and establish a family in the "mother of the kibbutzim and collective settlements."
