Daniel Sieff Research Institute in Rehovot, Palestine 1938

The Daniel Sieff Research Institute in Rehovot, surrounded by manicured grounds, opens this sequence. British industrialist Israel Sieff had founded the institute in 1934 in memory of his son Daniel, who died young; Chaim Weizmann directed chemical research there. In 1949 the institute became the Weizmann Institute of Science, named after him and still one of Israel's foremost research centers today. The footage was shot during the Arab revolt, when Rehovot stood under increased British military protection.
