Jackye Putting on my pedantic hat (I have several) Britain held a mandate for Palestine from the League of Nations, and administered the country from 1922-48. Would this, in defence of Bryan's posting, count , and so able to come under our umbrella?

That is true BUT we have to draw the line somewhere. The U.S. was also under British rule at one time but it is also not in the remit of our list.

I to am quite interested in this exhibition also as my mother and her sister who were born and lived in London traveled to Palestine in the 1930's. I have no idea what they were doing there, just some speculation. My mother met my American born father in Palestine in 1937 and married him in Haifa in 1938. Subsequently they returned to the US because of the events in Europe during this period. It would be interesting to know if the exhibition addresses the visits of English Zionist Jews to Palestine during this period of the Mandate. Isabelle Isabelle Selikoff I.
