The Holocaust and the revival flow through the arteries of Kibbutz Netzer Sereni, which at the beginning was named Kibbutz Buchenwald after the camp from which its founders survived (and also from Auschwitz and Birkenau). On the main lawn there is an impressive monument with a statue looking towards the huge dining room (some say it is the largest dining room ever built in the kibbutzim) and a house of culture and memory. The name of the kibbutz was changed to “Netzer” (meaning a branch or shoot that sprouts from a felled tree) and Sereni is from the paratrooper Enzo Sereni, a Zionist leader and Jewish Brigade officer who parachuted into Nazi-occupied Italy in World War II.
The history of Kibbutz Netzer Sereni is rich, and the story of its founders, who grew out of the inferno of the holocaust is inspiring. Today, fourth and fifth generations frolic on the kibbutz paths and the community is vibrant and maintains a long-standing tradition of music, sports, culture, contribution to neighboring communities and joy. Lots of joy. On regular days, almost every evening at Netzer Sereni, events are held where life is celebrated – not in one event garden, but in two: “Hatzer Netzer” and “Allenby Farm”. How symbolic that in Kibbutz Netzer Sereni, has sprouted such a branch of hope and happiness.
