Chaim Weizmann and lab assistant, Sieff Institute, Rehovot 1938

In the laboratory of the Daniel Sieff Research Institute, Chaim Weizmann and an assistant handle test tubes and chemical apparatus. Weizmann, a trained chemist, had already gained international recognition during the First World War for an industrial fermentation process used to produce acetone. In the 1930s he built up a research center in Rehovot that gave Jewish scientists in Palestine an academic home, at a time when many were increasingly excluded from European universities.
