1940s Jewish Refugee Wire Photos (19)

1940s Jewish Refugee Wire Photos (19)

The faces of the detainees at the Jewish detention camps on Cyprus tell the story. Their accommodations are sparse, but they are safe and hopeful about their future prospects in the Holy Land. This is a remarkable collection of (19) wire photos documenting the life of European Jews immediately after WWII, in limbo as they wait to rebuild their lives in Palestine. These are poetic images of daily life: girls hanging laundry; children washing up for the day and at school; new babies in their mothers' arms; swimming in the Mediterranean. Sized from 7 x 9" to 8x12", the wire photos have either front captions or caption sheets. All are at least VG with most EX/NM.
