German-Jewish Hiking Club “Kameraden” Stickpin

,
DATE
Century: 20th (1901-2000)

Stickpin from the “Deutsch-Jüdischer Wanderbund “Kameraden”, a hiking club for German Jewish youths founded in 1916 which was originally politically neutral. Towards the end of the 1920s, the group disbanded and the young members joined groups with ideological orientations ranging from purely religious alliances, Zionist or German-Jewish to socialist and Communist organizations. Some joined the radical “Schwarze Haufen” as well.
