The Bulmash Family Holocaust Collection consists of images, documents, and artifacts related to the Holocaust. The collection contains materials that depict a number of topics that may be difficult for viewers to engage with, including: antisemitic descriptions, caricatures, and representation of Jewish people; Nazi imagery and ideology; descriptions and images of German ghettos; graphic images of the violence of the Holocaust; and the creation of the State of Israel. For more information, see our policy page.

Description

Front: White card with scalloped borders. Red Hebrew text in upper right corner. Illustration of a farmer with horse and cart with a brown field on the right, and a green field with mountains and the setting sun on the left. Glitter on the sun and through the brown field.

Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

More than merely celebrating agriculture, this drawing of a Zionist tilling the soil is also a potent metaphor for Israeli pride in its independence, self-sufficiency, and self-generative power in creating a new nation with a new history for Jewish people after WWII.
