Hannah Szenes 1921-1944
I chose to feature Hannah Szenes as a model of a strong Zionist woman who was
willing to risk her life for her values and for the Jewish people. I am inspired by her
story, how she got to Israel and then left again to try to rescue Jews from occupied
Europe. I am inspired by her poetry and her relationship with her mother who was
arrested with her, survived the war and fought to have her remains buried in Har Herzl
in the paratrooper’s section. This papercut is inspired by a photo that I found online of
Hannah sitting in a field. She came to British Mandate Palestine in 1939 after
graduating high school to study in an agricultural school. On a personal note, I share a
birthday with Hannah Szenes and have always been drawn to her story.
