Foto Friday
Check out the Eretz Israel Museum in Ramat Aviv for a great photography exhibit, entitled Zoltan Kluger, Chief Photographer 1933-1958. For 25 years, the Hungarian-born Kluger documented the ‘Zionist project’ and the making of the state, after arriving here in 1933. From his first moments in the country, when he photographed the opening of the Haifa port, Arab demonstrations in Jaffa against Jewish immigration and immigrants from Germany, Kluger gave a face to the new Jews, pioneers, kibbutzniks, urbanites, pre-Hagana and Palmach fighters, immigrants and sabras. Working for the JNF and Keren Hayesod, many of his photos were national property and were the basis of this exhibit, telling the story of the Land of Israel narrative.
