Talk:Youth Aliyah

message: While this article is very informative, concise and effective in describing movements of children from Germany to Palestine before World War II, it could use some expansion and elaboration regarding a few different matters. 
First of all, it is apparent that the references used in this article are primarily literature from Youth Aliyah itself rather than external scholarly works. For example, out of the sources for the section "History," three are from the Jewish Agency-Youth Aliyah Bulletin from January 1987, and another is a broken link about the 70th anniversary of Youth Aliyah. Only one source, the Encyclopedia article about Recha Freier, qualifies as an independent source. Therefore, I could contribute to the depth of this article by adding information from Marion Kaplan's book Between Dignity and Despair: Jewish Life in Nazi Germany.  
Specifically, even within the format of an encyclopedia article it would be useful to explain the experiences of the children who moved to Palestine and their families. For instance, Kaplan supplies the information that Youth Aliyah required a quota of sixty percent boys and forty percent girls in order that the farms on the kibbutzim could be properly worked (117). Kaplan also cites a number of anecdotes that illustrate the difficulties of children coming to Palestine on their own and with their families coping with their separation. 
Finally, although it is clear that Kindertransport refers only to the organized movements of Jewish children to the UK, this article would benefit from making the connection that Youth Aliyah and Kindertransport were variations on the same phenomenon, by which Jewish communities tried to save Jewish children from Nazi rule. The fourth chapter of Kaplan's book lays this out comprehensively, and so readers of the Youth Aliyah article would appreciate an understanding that Jewish children were going to other places besides Palestine. 
If anyone wants to comment on these changes, please let me know on this Talk Page or on my Talk Page. I am open to discuss these issues in order to contribute to the best possible version of this article.
