Zoltan Kluger (born in Hungary, 1896, died in Manhattan, 1977) lived in Palestine and Israel from 1933 to 1958. During that quarter of a century he was the chief photographer of The Orient Press Photo Company. These years yielded over 50,000 negatives documenting all aspects of life in the Jewish community of Palestine during the pre-state period and the first decade of the State of Israel. This retrospective album reproduces a sampling of his photos that testify to "the classical period" of Zionist photography. Kluger documented Jewish efforts to establish pioneering settlements, but also turned his attention to the development of urban life, manufacturing, shipping and fishing, sport and recreation, the wave of new immigrants who streamed into the new state after its establishment, and more topics. He was also a pioneer of non-military aerial photography in Palestine.

Wanting to celebrate Israel’s anniversary in a periodical that is Hungarian both in its culture and language, one automatically recalls the examples of the Hungarian founding fathers of the state, Herzl, Nordau and their predecessors. It is precisely for this reason that we decided not to do so. We would like to focus the commemoration on Múlt és Jöv ő, the periodical written and edited by József Patai (and his whole family) that played a significant role in laying the intellectual basis for the future state. This is supported by the less known but highly telling fact that Raphael Patai was the first to ever acquire a doctorate at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem - another example underlining the Hungarian presence, and bonding function, in the short but fruitful history of the Israeli state. Six of our articles and documents discuss this constant presence and radiation whose impact has been felt to this day.

Interview by János Kőbányai Having left a painful space behind him, the poet András Mezei is remembered by Itamar Yaoz-Kest and Ádám Tábor. An overview of his life from the perspective of the Israel experience, András seems to have sensed in these posthumous poems that they were to be published from over there, gaining a different horizon through death.
