Erich and Marga Cohen are a Jewish couple who used to live in the city of Brandenbourg in Germany and made a living from a department store they owned.
The two were members of a Zionist movement, and in 1933, after the Nazis rose to power, they decided to take an organized trip to the Holy Land.
Miriam Hazeh, Erich and Marga's daughter, asked to share the photos from that trip to the Land of Israel with Ynet readers.
