Abstract
Jews began to come to the lands which now comprise Israel in the 1880s. They settled in territory ruled until the First World War by Turks, and after 1919 administered by Britain under a League of Nations mandate. The Jewish community grew rapidly, especially during the interwar years: ‘between 1919 and 1929 [it] almost trebled to a total of 160 000 …’; and by 1936, after a wave of refugees from early Nazi terror, it had reached almost 400 000 (Jaffe, 1982, p. 8).
