Lot of 2 volumes of the Jewish-Dutch youth newspaper De Joodsche jeugdkrant: Betsalel: 1. Volume 2, 1929-1930 with 52 consecutive magazines 2. Volume 5 from 1932-1933, 52 consecutive magazines. Bindings falling apart, few single first pages are disbound, yellowed pages, pages a little fragile. *This was a magazine published in the Netherlands only during 1928-1935. With this youth magazine, the Bezalel non-profit (guided by god) created advertised the "young Jewish generation in Jewish-Dutch families inside and outside the home." Special series, many written by Klara Ischar-Pinkhoff, were an integral part of the magazine. The youth magazine also contained riddle poems. It also discussed Jewish religious, cultural and historical issues. For example, it contained explanations regarding Jewish kashrut and holiday laws, Hebrew lessons, prayers and verses from the Bible. Each magazine mentioned the times of Shabbat. Children were given the possibility to submit their own material for publication. Nearly half of the magazine constituted commercial content. The men and women who donated to the De Joodsche jeugdkrant: Betsalel had a positive stance toward the Royal Dutch family; the Netherlands were considered to be a state which welcomed Jewish refugees throughout history. Even though the events which occurred during 1928-1935 were not explicitly mentioned, the magazine can be viewed as an important historical document, due to the clear threat of Nazi promotion. This issue was particularly present in the "Question Chest", although the letters themselves were not printed.
