From Germany to Israel in pictures – part 2
We continue Dr. Rudy Goldstein's travels in the Land of Israel in 1930s, which took him by train to the places where he helped heal patients across the country: Rosh Pina in the Galilee, the Hula Valley and its swamps, the Mishmar Hayarden colony and even the Hartuv colony

It was very difficult comprehending the doctor's handwriting on the photos. If any of the readers is willing to try to try it out, I would gladly send them copies of this handwriting.
I would like to thank Ruti Levana, a family relative, for updates and new information on Rudy's life.

A Bedouin tribe lives on the banks of the Hula Valley, where Rudy set up his lab. Members of this tribe were pushed aside by the Arabs and forced to live in huts near the Hula swamps, where they suffered from malaria and other infectious diseases. Today the Mallaha area is known as Eynan Lake
9. September 1935, Rudy at the eucalyptus grove near the colony of Mishmar Hayarden, which was founded in 1890. The colony was destroyed on June 10, 1948 in its members' heroic battle against an armed Syrian division, which invaded the Land of Israel through the Bnot Yaakov Bridge. This year the Society for Preservation of Israel Heritage Sites began setting up a memorial for the colony
