Biography

Naomi Frankel was born in Berlin. She joined the Hashomer Hatzair movement and immigrated to Palestine in 1933.[1] Frankel is the author of a trilogy, Saul and Johanna, about two Jewish men who grew up assimilated in pre-Holocaust Germany, then found freedom through Zionism.[2] Frankel became a member of kibbutz Beit Alpha. In 982, she moved to Kiryat Arba and later Hebron.[3] Frankel was buried on Beit Alpha, three days after her 91st birthday. Although she left years earlier, she never cut ties with the kibbutz, as that was both the birth place and home of her daughter.[4]
