Jewish immigrant woman at telephone switchboard, Palestine 1933-1935

A woman sits at a telephone switchboard, plugging connection cords into a panel. The footage belongs to a series on Jewish refugees from Germany who emigrated to Palestine after 1933 amid Nazi persecution. Many women of the Fifth Aliyah found work in newly emerging service industries such as telephone exchanges, which had to keep pace with the rapid growth of Jewish cities like Tel Aviv. The expansion of communication infrastructure was a visible sign of the modern, urban development of Jewish Palestine at the time.
