Palästina Kalender [Palestine Calendar], published by Zionistische Vereinigung für Deutschland [Zionist Federation of Germany]. Berlin: Jüdische Rundschau Press, 1936. German.
Hebrew-Gregorian desktop calendar for Hebrew year 5697 (1936/37). Contains numerous photographs by some of the most prominent photographers in Palestine at the time, including Zoltan Kluger, Nahum Tim Gidal, Helmar Lerski (stills excerpted from the movie "Avodah"), Rudi Weissenstein, Anna Mosbacher, Ernst Mayr, and others. The photographs, sometimes accompanied by brief texts, present the land – both its landscapes and its people – in a manner flattering and conducive to the Zionist agenda. Also appearing on the calendar are advertisements for the Jewish weekly "Jüdische Rundschau" as well as brief notes dealing with a wide range of Zionist organizations and institutions, such as the Zionist Federation of Germany, the Jewish National Fund, Keren Hayesod, the Women's International Zionist Organization (WIZO), and Maccabi.
The Zionist Federation of Germany [Zionistische Vereinigung für Deutschland] was established in Cologne in 1894 by the Zionist leaders Max Bodenheimer (1865-1940), Fabius Schach (1868-1942), and David Wolffsohn (1855-1914), and others. The Federation served as the umbrella organization for the various Zionist organizations of Germany. Among its responsibilities, it was involved in fundraising for the purposes of purchasing land in Palestine and granting assistance and support to immigrants to Palestine. In addition, the Federation published a number of journals, of which the "Jüdische Rundschau" was the most widely distributed; at its height, it was circulated in tens of thousands of copies, and was among the most widely read Zionist periodicals in the world.
