With a stick and a backpack: Hikes in 1920s
Haim Berger immigrated to Israel from Ukraine in 1921. After studying the general history and history of the Land of Israel, he guided tours across country and its surroundings. First story in series
Nadav Man
Haim Berger (1900-1983) was born in the town of Sambor (Lviv, Ukraine). He joined the Shomer Hatzair Movement and immigrated to Israel with the group in 1921. He later worked in construction and agriculture, and in 1928 began studying general history and history of the Land of Israel at the Hebrew University.
He then began working as a tour guide across the country and its surroundings, and engaged in research of the history of the land. He published articles in newspapers and released a book.
Gilad, Haim's son, provided me with a large collection of his father's photographs which were taken during his hikes. Alongside the photos, Haim would write the names of the places in Hebrew and in Arabic.
In the coming weeks, we will present a selection of his photos, with some of Haim's original captions.
