A collection of notebooks, booklets and leaves written by Henya Aharoni. Includes personal diaries over several years. Eretz Israel, 1931-1939.
Henya Aharoni (born in 1921 in Babruysk – Russia) attended the Giv’at Ha-Shelosha District School around the mid 1930’s. That school was opened by Rosa Cohen, Yitzchak Rabin’s mother. Throughout the school years, Henya Aharoni wrote a detailed diary which depicts the school’s social environment (sometimes similar to “protocols” quoting the discussions and debates among friends) and the atmosphere of that time (riots, King George’s death, the founding of the Tel Aviv port, Toscanini’s visit in Palestine and more).
Yitzchak Rabin was among her classmates and his name is mentioned many times in her diaries, although not always in a positive light: “Rabin – pick your nose, maybe you’ll find treasures”; “Rabin just arrived today and already began arguing with Sarah R. his voice was so loud even a deaf guy could figure out that Rabin, the vermin, was in school”.
Among the notebooks there is a biography of Henya since her birth, notes from later times, class-notes on poetry and other subjects, and more.
33 notebooks and booklets + family letters and leaves. Varying sizes and conditions.
