An English resume of an interview in Hebrew that took place in Israel, as a part of the Polish Roots in Israel Project. Interviewee name: Shmuel Lubin
Aliza Lubin was born (1914) to Abba and Lea Monta in the town of Częstochowa.
Aliza had six siblings
In the late 1920's, Aliza's two elder sisters left home - one went to Peru and the other to Belgium.
The remaining four siblings, along with their parents, were all killed in the Holocaust.
Aliza joined the Gordonia Zionist movement in the early 1930's and was an active member there. The Gordonia movement had several branches where activities took place. The activities in the various branches included summer camps and training in preparation for immigration to Palestine.
At that time, only those who possessed certificates issued by the British Mandate were allowed to enter Palestine.
Those certificates were issued on the basis of one of four categories:
1. A "schedule" – a quota based on neccessary workers.
2. Acceptance to study in academic institutions.
3. Uniting families on the basis of first of kin.
4. Capital certificates. Wealthy people who could prove possession of at least 1000 British pounds.
The capital certificates were issued in addition to the other quotas.
Therefore at times, the Jewish Agency and The World Zionist Organization lent money to Jews in the Diaspora, in order to enable them to immigrate legally to Palestine.
In order to maximize the number of legal immigrants, those who were granted certificates were asked to marry, even fictiously, to enable more people to enter the country.
Aliza had to marry fictiously in order to receive the certificate. Aliza "married" Yechezkel.
In 1935 Aliza came to Palestine, legally with the Gordonia C group.
Upon arriving in Palestine, the group first settled in Rehovot, in an area called Givat Hakibbutzim.
The group members underwent training for an agricultural way of life there. Once the training was completed, the group was assigned to join an already existing kibbutz, Degania Bet.
The merging of the two groups doubled the number of kibbutz members from fifty to one hundred members.
In her first years in the kibbutz, Aliza worked in the grapefruit groves. Later she worked in the communal kitchen and afterwards, she worked as a caretaker in the children's communal home.
In 1941 Aliza married Musia Lubin in Degania Bet.
In 1942 Aliza gave birth to her son Shmuel.
Later Rina and Avner were born.
In 1953, after Aliza gave birth to her daughter Rina, she became disabled.
Aliza was a very kind and sensitive person. She loved people and was loved by them.
The children, whom she cared for in the communal home, loved her very much.
Although Aliza was disabled, she raised her four children and assisted her mother-in-law, Sonia.
Aliza became sick and died in 1986.
She left behind a family of 15 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren who all adored her.
