History
Kibbutz Netzer Sereni was founded in 1948 by 120 members of Kibbutz Givat Brenner, who broke away for ideological reasons.[1] The kibbutz was named Netzer Sereni after Enzo Sereni, a Jewish Italian intellectual, Zionist leader and Jewish Brigade officer. Sereni was one of the founders of Givat Brenner. He was parachuted into Nazi-occupied Italy in World War II, only to be immediately captured by the Germans and executed in Dachau concentration camp.[2]
Kibbutz Netzer Sereni was founded by Holocaust survivors. It was first called Kibbutz Buchenwald after the concentration camp in which many of its founders had been detained. The name was changed later to Netzer by the Buchenwald members. In Hebrew netzer means sprout, shoot or branch. In 1955 there was a national political separation producing a split between the two labor parties, Mapam and Mapai. The Mapai members of Kibbutz Givat Brenner moved to Kibbutz Netzer and added the name Sereni.
