The owner of this scrapbook (seemingly, female) recounts the tumultuous events in Palestine from the years 1945-49. Aside from newspaper clippings, also included are her own original photographs. The compiler likely lived in Palestine and often provides here her own narrative account of events. Her tone is British, but her sympathies are emphatically Zionist.
