The book deals with the formative years of Israel's evolving
symbolic landscape (1904-1967). It covers the stories of a few
dozen Jews who passed away in the Diaspora and later their remains
were taken to be buried for the second time (and sometimes for the
third) in Israel. These were Zionists and politicians, writers and
poets, heroes and public activists whose common denominator was
that they all passed away in the Diaspora, far and detached from
the national homeland that they fought for before their tragic
death. Only later, in an act of repair, their coffins were sent to
be buried in the "sacred" Zionist soil, in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv or
Dgania. These graves became pilgrimage sites and contributed to the
design of Israel's landscape. The book examines how and why such
great effort was made to bring their remains to Israel for
reinterment, and how the funerals and graves of the public figures
became state symbols and national instruments for establishing
Israeli sovereignty over the land.
