LIFE Magazine, Photos of Life in in Israel in 1948
by David Weinberg,
Director, CIC Israel Office
I encourage you to view this incredible photo archive, particularly the first section with photos from the fall of the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem in 1948. It is a stunning reminder of the precarious situation of the Jewish state 62 years ago, and a salient warning, I think, against any suggestion to redivide Jerusalem!
Magnificent, long-forgotten photos!
The photographs and accompanying text by researcher Ben Atlas is divided into three parts, each linked below:
