Landscape and Ideology

The book deals with the stories of a few dozen Jews, Zionists, politicians, writers, poets, and public activists who passed away in the Diaspora, far and detached from the national homeland that they fought for before their death. Only later, in an act of repair, their remains were sent to be buried in the “sacred” Zionist soil. Their graves became pilgrimage sites and contributed to the design of Israel’s symbolic landscape.
