Chaim Weizmann inspects test tubes, Sieff Institute, Rehovot 1938

Close shots show Chaim Weizmann holding test tubes up to the light and examining samples in the laboratory of the Daniel Sieff Research Institute. The institute, which he had directed since its founding in 1934, was meant to give Jewish scientists in Palestine working opportunities increasingly denied to them at many European universities. Eleven years later, in 1949, the institute became the Weizmann Institute of Science, named in his honor.
