Animated map of Palestine with immigration arrows, 1930s

A drawn map with moving arrows situates Palestine geographically between the Mediterranean and neighboring countries of the Middle East. Such animations were a standard feature of contemporary newsreels, used to show audiences in Europe and the United States where Jewish immigrants came from and where they were headed. Jewish immigration to Palestine rose sharply in the 1930s as a result of Nazi persecution, increasingly leading to tensions with the Arab population and restrictions imposed by the British Mandate administration.
