history
The moshaw was founded on April 13, 1938 in Palestine as a tower and palisade settlement by Jews from the Swabian town of Rexingen , some of whom lived in Tuttlingen and who escaped the later Holocaust by emigrating ( Fifth Aliyah ) .
The actress and singer Daliah Lavi was born in Schawe Zion in 1942 .
The poet and writer Leopold Marx from Stuttgart- Bad Cannstatt lived there after Aliyah (immigration) and wrote in German all his life. In his book My Son Erich Jehoshua , Marx also describes in many passages everyday life in this kibbutz between 1940 and 1948, the year his son died. Erich Jehoshua Marx was killed during the Israeli War of Independence on January 14, 1948 in the first battle for the Gush Etzion near Kfar Etzion . He was buried in Shawe Zion , where a house of culture was later named after him.
Also Pinchas Erlanger lived and worked since his aliya life in Shavei Tzion.
The former West German Federal President Theodor Heuss gave a moving speech on May 12, 1960 on a private trip about his friend Otto Hirsch , who had made a name for himself when the Rexingen Jews left the country. The village community erected a monument to Otto Hirsch and his wife.
