Biographical History

Deutsch- Jüdischer Wanderbund was established in August 1921 by groups of young Jewish nature lovers in various parts of Germany who felt uncomfortable in the Wandervogel movement on account of growing antisemitism. The liberal Jewish membership felt itself to be both German and Jewish and therefore rejected the Zionism and orthodoxy of other Jewish youth movements. The organisation folded in 1932.
