Jewish immigrants at work, Palestine 1933-1935
A woman stands at a typesetting case arranging letters for print, while further images show work in a factory and at a post office – Jewish immigrants from Germany in their new occupations in Palestine. After the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, tens of thousands of German Jews left their homeland and sought a new existence in the British Mandate of Palestine, part of what became known as the Fifth Aliyah. Many of the arrivals had previously worked as academics, merchants or clerks and now had to reorient themselves toward manual, industrial or service trades. The footage documents this economic new beginning of the displaced, far from the persecution in Germany.
