Reference Code	NY_07106
Description	Germany; circa 1945-46; 'Kibbutz Buchenwald" The Kibbutz Buchenwald hachshara, a Zionist agricultural training farm established in June 1945 by twenty young survivors of Buchenwald near the town of Geringshof, Germany. The hachshara was established on the site of a previous Jewish agricultural school founded in 1923 that managed to stay open until 1941 before its Jewish students were deported. At the war's end, the American military government recovered the farm and permitted it to be reopened for Jewish youth once more. The group immigrated to Palestine aboard the Tel Chai refugee ship in 1946. At first absorbed by Kibbutz Afikim, the members of Kibbutz Buchenwald later split off to found a new kibbutz, Netzer Sereni.
