A metal pin in the shape of a shield - an enamelled uncle with the "Youth Aliyah House in Selvino". (Italy), 1945-1948
A Star of David pin. In the center of it is a book, a crop and a sickle. At the bottom of the caption reads, "The Youth Aliyah House in Salvino." The children's home in the Italian town of Selvino operated between 1945 and 1948 and absorbed about 800 Jewish children, Holocaust survivors. The children were educated in a curriculum designed to complete their studies in the fields they had been missing, teach them different crafts, and prepare them for immigration to Eretz Israel. Some of the Selvino children immigrated to Israel in 1946, and some immigrated to Israel upon the establishment of the State of Israel and were absorbed in various kibbutzim. Dimensions: 20X25 mm.
