1800 to 1948: Historical Documents and Records
This section provides a detailed series of chapters on the history of Jews (both local and those in exile), Arabs, and the broader region of Israel and Palestine.
The focus on the period from the 1800s to the re-establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 allows us to rely on more extensive records, photographs, and reliable documentation.
