Trudy and Miko Schwartz's collection – part 2

We continue our trip to the past with beautiful photos taken by Jerusalem couple. This time we get to know different types of people, professions and workplaces in Land of Israel in 1940s

First of all, we would like to thank the readers who helped identify the photos in the previous article: The intersection of King David, King Solomon, Agron and Mamilla Streets in Jerusalem; the house built by Yosef Davidoff in the Bukharan Quarter; and Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek in the picture of world leaders on the wall of Palestine restaurant.

 

This time we present types of people and professions in the city, country and health services of the Land of Israel in the 1940s. If any of you can add details about the people shown in the photos, their professions and the places they were photographed in, please let us know through the talkback feature.
