Chaim Weizmann bids farewell to General Haining, Rehovot 1938

In the longest shot of the group, Chaim Weizmann leaves the institute in conversation with General Robert Haining, who in 1938 commanded British forces in Palestine during the suppression of the Arab revolt. The two walk toward the waiting car before Haining's departure. The encounter documents the close, if tense, relationship between the Zionist leadership and the British Mandate administration in the late 1930s, shortly before Britain's Palestine policy hardened with the White Paper of 1939.
