Street scenes and houses in Haifa, Palestine c. 1933

Rows of houses, shade-giving trees and quiet streets characterize the port city of Haifa at the foot of Mount Carmel. Haifa grew rapidly in the 1930s as large numbers of Jewish immigrants fled persecution in Nazi Germany and Eastern Europe for Palestine. The city developed into the main industrial and harbor center of the British Mandate, with oil refineries and a newly built deep-water port. Newsreels used such everyday images to present Jewish reconstruction in Palestine as a counterpoint to persecution in Europe.
