Building of the Palestine Zionist Executive, Jerusalem 1938

A door marked 'Palestine Zionist Executive' marks the entrance to the offices in Jerusalem, with a man and a woman going in and out. The Palestine Zionist Executive was the executive organ of the World Zionist Organization in Palestine and, through a personal union established with the enlarged Jewish Agency Executive of 1929, also its leading body. From here immigration, settlement building and political representation before the British Mandate administration were coordinated. The unassuming office façade contrasts with the significance of the decisions made inside for building the Jewish national institutions in Palestine.
