On June 18, 1936, Dr. Richard and Hilda Strauss, accompanied by their infant son Michael, embarked on a momentous journey from Ulm, Germany, to Palestine. This significant migration, driven by hope, resilience, and the pursuit of a better future, became a defining moment in the Strauss family’s history.
Eighty years later, in 2016, the Strauss family gathered to commemorate the remarkable journey that led to their settlement in what is now the State of Israel. The 80th anniversary of their arrival serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination that shaped the family’s legacy and their enduring connection to the land.
To honor this extraordinary chapter in their history,
the family has undertaken the creation of a comprehensive collection of archival materials – documents, photographs, letters, and other cherished mementos – that span their heritage. This collection will be preserved in the form of a specially crafted, family-oriented keepsake. It will serve not only as a treasured object for future generations but also as a powerful symbol of the family’s story and the historical context in which it unfolded.
