I was born and grew up in Haifa, Israel (then Palestine).At the turn of the 20th Century Haifa was a tiny fishing village but following the First World War, under British rule and with increased Jewish immigration it grew into a major port, an industrial centre, a terminus for the Iraqi oil pipeline and a British naval base.
During the war of 1948 many of the Arab residents fled but a good number remained. Haifa is mentioned often as a model of peaceful co-existence between Jews and Arabs. its population today is over a quarter million people. The Bahá'í World Centre (comprising the Shrine of the Báb, terraced gardens and administrative buildings) is on Mount Carmel's northern slope, and is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The archival images are from various collections, from about 1907 to the 1940s.
