The Best School in Jerusalem
Annie Edith (Hannah Judith) Landau (1873Ð1945), born in London to immigrant parents and educated as a teacher, moved to Jerusalem in 1899 to teach English at the Anglo-Jewish AssociationÕs Evelina de Rothschild School for Girls. A year later she became its principal, a post she held for forty-five years. As a member of JerusalemÕs educated elite, Landau had considerable influence on the cityÕs cultural and social life, often hosting parties that included British Mandatory officials, Jewish dignitaries, Arab leaders, and important visitors. Her school, which provided girls of different backgrounds with both a Jewish and a secular education, was immensely popular and often had to reject candidates, for lack of space. A biography of both an extraordinary woman and a thriving institution, this book offers a lens through which to view the struggles of the nascent Zionist movement, World War I, poverty and unemployment in the Yishuv, and the relations between the religious and secular sectors and between Arabs and Jews, as well as LandauÕs own dual loyalties to the British and to the evolving Jewish community.

»Oh, ihr teuren Netzel-Mädchen!«
Als der Buchbinder Friedrich Netzel 1879 sein Geschäft in Worpswede eröffnet, ahnt er noch nicht, dass er bald weit mehr als nur die Akten des Kirchenbüros und der Gemeindeverwaltung binden wird. Woher soll er wissen, dass sich das kleine unbedeutende Dorf am Rande des Teufelsmoores in eine bekannte Künstlerkolonie verwandeln wird? Als die ersten Künstler kommen, stellt er sich darauf ein.
