Hannah Senesh was a young Hungarian Jew who immigrated to Israel in the 1930’s and settled in Kibbutz Sdot Yam, near Caesarea. During the Second World War, she volunteered to be parachuted into Hungary to fight the Nazis and hopefully rescue her mother. Unfortunately, she was captured shortly after her landing and was executed. She was also a gifted poet, and some songs are still popular.  In her memory, the kibbutz runs a “Hannah Senesh House” next to its local Archaeological Museum.

Touring Hannah Senesh House

The museum is open Sunday to Thursday, 10:00 to 16:00, and charges an entry fee.

A tour of Hannah Senesh house can be combined with a day tour of Caesarea and other sites in its vicinity.
