A group of Jewish families in West Germany announced plans to establish a settlement in Israel, to be called Armonim. It will be the first settlement by Jewish emigres from Germany since the Hitler era.
A spokesman for the group stressed that the families will be settling in Israel proper, not in occupied territories and that their village will be organized along the lines of a moshav, a small holders cooperative. The group is trying to recruit additional members so that the new settlement will have a nucleus of 25 families.
Jewish Agency representatives here have discussed the project with the group and have promised their support. A representative of the moshavim movement said his organization will provide any information needed and financial assistance.
