Postcard with Photograph of Jewish Palestinian Exiles in Alexandria during World War I – Jerusalem, 1915
A postcard with a group photograph of Jews who were deported from Palestine to Alexandria by order of Djemal Pasha, during World War I. [1915].
A group photograph of Jewish Palestinian exiles in Alexandria next to a cinema. Captioned in the plate: "Picture of Palestinian exiles at the cinema, Alexandria the second day of Chol HaMoed Passover 1915. Photograph Y. Wolfhart of Jerusalem" (Hebrew).
With the outbreak of World War I, most of the Jewish citizens of Palestine, members of the first and second Aliyah who lived in Palestine without Turkish citizenship, became enemy aliens. The Governor of Greater Syria, Djemal Pasha, ordered the deportation of all enemy citizens, and on December 17, 1914, hundreds of the Jewish residents of Jaffa were separated from their families and sent penniless to Egypt on a crowded ship. Over the next few weeks, additional Jews were deported under similar conditions, whereas those who remained in Palestine were victims of looting, harassment and confiscation of property.
9X14 cm. Good condition. Several minor stains. Abbrasions and minor blemishes. Stamp on verso.
