Entrances of the Jewish Agency building, Jerusalem 1938

A man walks past the separate departmental entrances of the Jewish Agency building, above the portal a sign reads 'The Jewish Agency for Palestine'. The Jerusalem building housed the organization's political, immigration and settlement departments, which effectively administered the Jewish community in Palestine. In 1938 this administration grew in importance as the Jewish Agency sought to organize the reception of refugees fleeing Nazi Germany and Austria. The building's sober architecture reflects the bureaucratic, state-like character of the institution.
