The Jewish Brigade
The Jewish military unit that fought Nazi Germany, aided Holocaust survivors, and helped shape Israel’s future army

Why this legacy belongs in Moreshet
The Jewish Brigade merits a central place in Jewish and Israeli memory because it united combat against Nazi Germany, practical assistance to Holocaust survivors, and the development of human and organizational resources for the Israel Defense Forces. Moreshet and Moreshet.com preserve its story as part of the history of the Jewish people and the State of Israel.
