Following the exhibit in Tel Aviv, I pulled out the dolls I got from my grandfather and photographed them.They are young teens in the pre -Israel state underground "HAGANA" or the pre- army called the "PALMACH".
I loved these dolls all my life. They are 20 cm tall , they wear khacki clothes and knitted caps called "Kova Gerev" ( a sock cap in Hebrew) they wear utility shoes made of leather. they wear messenger bags. They have such a sweet face!

Neomi, the dolls are precious and look so well preserved. You took good care of them.

ReplyDeleteI just acquired a little boy who looks much like your little girl. Am I correct in assuming that they date to the late 1950s?
