Yehuda FEHER
Housing: 12 boxes Period: 1940-1998

Yehuda Feher was a leader of the Shomrim Zionist youth movement, and a leader in Jewish communal organisations. His collection represents the most significant collection of Australian Zionist Youth magazines known to exist in this country. The collection shows Australian Jewish youth at its activist best at the time when it galvanised the senior Jewish Community into action on behalf of European Jewry. Covers the period of the Shoah and the creation of the State of Israel. Some ephemera from the 1940's and later. He has just finished working on a biography of Percy Marks, whom he sees as a forgotten Australian Jewish intellectual.
