Street scene in Palestine with camels and cars, 1933-1935
Camels and automobiles move together along a busy road, pedestrians cross the path, and glimpses of factory work appear in between. Such footage from the British Mandate of Palestine in the early 1930s deliberately juxtaposed tradition and modernity: the centuries-old camel caravan next to the automobile as a symbol of economic development. This period saw the so-called Fifth Aliyah, a strong wave of Jewish immigration from Germany following the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, which rapidly transformed the country's trade, industry and urban development. Newsreels such as March of Time often used such contrasts to illustrate the social change taking place in the region.
