The children of the kindergarten classes in Akko climbed on Napoleon hill to reproduce the first hoisting of an Israeli flag on the hill, in 48 when Akko became part of Israel! If you can read Hebrew you can see the report in an evening newspaper from 48

The children start walking towards the hill

At the bottom of the hill, “Herzl, Napolion and Ben Ami” (the commander of the fight for the western Galili) were waiting for the children.

The class prepared a special flag for the 60 anniversary of Israel and they are getting ready to climb the hill

“If you want, it is not a legend” Once Israel was my dream and to day it is the reality of every one. I invite you to get of the bus and participate in the 60 anniversary of Israel celebrations” Herzl welcomed all the classes who came for the celebrations in Napoleon hill

“ I do not have another country” The flag of “Alonim” class

“I am Napoleon, the commander of the French army. I conquered all the world but I was defeated in Akko. But… never mind, this hill is called Napoleon hill because of me and I invite you to climb up the hill.
