Typesetter in a print shop, Palestine 1930s

A woman sorts type at a typesetting case, while further shots show writing and postal work – tasks taken up by Jewish refugees from Germany after their arrival in Palestine. The Fifth Aliyah brought not only factories to the British Mandate but also publishing houses, print shops and administrative offices that gave immigrants skilled employment and helped build an independent Jewish infrastructure. Footage like this served at the time as evidence of the successful integration of the displaced into a new economic life.
