Szold (1860-1945) founded the Woman's Zionist Organization of America,
Hadassah. She was its first president from 1912-1926, becoming the first woman
elected to the World Zionist Organization in 1927. In 1920, Szold had moved
to Palestine, where she directed medical and rehabilitation work, especially for
children. Because of the rapid spread of anti-Semitism in Germany, the
Jewish Agency for Palestine had to create a separate agency to handle the
emigration of Jews from Germany. One vertical and one horizontal fold. Two
filing holes at left. Lightly toned at edges. Otherwise, fine condition. Not
framed in Galley of History Style.
