Photographer Zoltan Kluger captured the development of the Israeli state from the mid-1930s through the end of the 1950s, working as the chief photographer for the Orient Press Photo Company. Kluger was born in Hungary, where he served as an aerial photographer during World War I. In the late 1920s, he moved to Berlin to work as a press photographer until 1933, when he moved to Palestine to escape Nazi persecution. Kluger worked as a photographer in Israel until 1958, when he immigrated to New York and opened a small photography studio. Kluger’s photos capture the landscape, people, and industry of the region during a crucial historical period, contributing to the visual culture and national consciousness of Israel.
