This is the story of my father Walter Selig

A true story.

My parents immigrated from Germany in 1937. My father was a student at the end of his study. He studied mechanical engineering at the Institude of technology in Breslau. Being a student at a German university in those days, made him understand and feel , that the Nazi regime is not just an unimportant passing episode.

The Strauss family came from Germany. In 1936 Richard Strauss immigrated to Palestine with his son Michel and his wife Hilda. He didn't have any Agriculture experience; he was a doctor for business and economy.

At first, the Strauss family lived in Richard brother's Meshek in Be'er Toovya.
After a while they decided to build there own Meshek in the lands of Nahariya.
On that time Nahariya only had a water tower, 2 roads and some houses.

Yosef Levi was born in Germany. He joined the Israeli office in 1913. During the years Levi became the biggest private land buyer in Palestine.
In the early 1930's, the north-west part of Israel today (the Western Galalee) wasn't in the settlers' map in Palestine. Building a Moshava in such an isolated place seemed implausible to them.
But Levi didn't think that way, he dreamed that settlements can be built in such lonely places.
When the 5th Aliya from Germany began, Levi saw the problems these immigrants had and decided to help them by fulfilling his dream.
