Newspapers with a Pictorial Article about the "Palestine Problem" – Berlin, 1937
Three issues of "Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung", including a pictorial article about Palestine (published in three parts). Issues no. 41-43. Berlin, October 14-23, 1937. German.
Three issues of the German illustrated newspaper "Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung" with an article by Wolfgang Weber titled "Das Problem Palastina." The article reviews, through photographs, the situation of the Jews and Arabs in Palestine under the British Mandate and their territorial struggle.
Among the many photographs: Mufti Muhammad Amin al-Husseini observing the Dome of the Rock; a Jewish neighborhood in Jerusalem; women in Tel-Aviv; an empty plot in Tel-Aviv with a sign "Menora, Plots for Sale"; aerial photograph of Nahalal; construction work in a Kibbutz; and additional photographs showing Jews and Arabs in Palestine. The article opens with a map of Palestine on which the Peel Commission Partition plan is marked.
A photograph from Palestine appears on the title page of the first issue (no. 41). It shows the reporter Wolfgang Weber in his car, with an Arab companion next to him holding the Nazi swastika flag.
In the early days of the Nazi regime in Germany, prior to the outbreak of World War II, the Nazis had encouraged immigration of Jews to Palestine as a means to deport Jews out of Germany. At the same time, the German press published articles shedding light on the situation in Palestine and encouraging construction in the country. This led to a certain amount of cooperation between the Zionist movement in Germany and the Nazi party, aimed at relocating Jews to Palestine. About two weeks prior to the publication of this article, Adolf Eichmann travelled to Palestine to meet with Feivel Polkes, who offered him a deal that was to result in immigration of many of the German Jews to Palestine. (This meeting did not take place in Palestine, as planned, but in Cairo, because the British Mandate administration did not grant Eichmann a permit to stay in Palestine.)
