Regina Goes to Palestine

We have some neat documentation of Regina's emigration to Palestine.

I always wondered whether Regina went to Palestine legally or illegally, but from these papers it looks like everything was on the up-and-up, at least on the German/Polish end.

Here is her receipt for the boat trip from Hamburg to Haifa/Jerusalem:

And here is what she took with her!! 

 

 



Thanks to Google translate, we can see what much of this means.  There were two "travel gear baskets"  (trunks?  suitcases?) containing the following items.  Note the tennis racket, which she actually talked about, so I believe that's real.  I'm not sure I believe she took 16 aprons, but who knows?

I couldn't read or translate the handwritten stuff on the bottom.  Note that all these items got checked off by someone, and there's a sign-off on the back of this list that I also can't understand:

 

 

Regina needed approvals by the Beuthen city administration that she had paid all her taxes, etc.  There are a bunch of these.  Here's one:

 

 



And here's a Palestine Immigration Certificate, issued in Warsaw, that seems to imply she was legal on the Palestinian side also:

And, lastly, here's her Palestine Identity Card, issued a year and a half later, where she looks like a real sabra.  She was in an agricultural community (a moshav) called Nahalal.
