Fundraising album, presumably presented to would-be donors to the building of the faculty of science of the Hebrew University. [Jerusalem], 1959. English.
Landscape format album; prefaced by a large panoramic photograph of the developing University Campus on Givat Ram.
Three leaves of text list the buildings that are required for the various departments of the faculty - a center of pure and applied physics, a center of pure and applied chemistry and an institute of biochemistry and biophysics. The text addresses the great need of Israel for scientists and teachers and the shortage of space that prevents the university from accepting many of the applicants to the faculty of science. Nine plates of architectural blueprints of the buildings of the University campus follow the text, separated by three transparent pages listing the uses of the various buildings. The binding is embossed with the logo of the University.
After Israel's War of Independence, during which the campus of the Hebrew University on Mount Scopus became an enclave in Jordanian territory, the University moved to Western Jerusalem. At first, it was located in the Terra Santa building and other temporary locations and in 1953, the construction of a new campus on Givat Ram began; the works continued until 1967.
[1] panoramic photograph in two sections, [3] ff. of text, [9] blueprint plates + [3] transparent pages, 33X51 cm. Good condition. Minor stains. Blemishes and stains on binding. The binding is slightly loose.

Flag of the Ramle Branch of the Alliance of the Israeli Communist Youth. Ramle, [ca. 1950s and 1960s].
Flag, hand-embroidered onto pink fabric. In the center, the emblem of the movement – the Red Star encircled by two olive branches surmounted by the flag of the State of Israel. The movement's Hebrew acronym – "Banki" – is embroidered in Hebrew and Arabic letters above the inscription "Ramle Branch" (Hebrew).
The Alliance of the Israeli Communist Youth (Hebrew acronym: Banki) was established in 1924 by a small group of students from Jerusalem. The movement espoused a Marxist-Leninist ideology, rejected Zionism, and was the only youth organization in which Jews and Arabs were jointly active. Its members identified with the Israeli Communist Party (Hebrew acronym: Maki), and when that party began showing an affinity to Zionism in the early years of the State, members of Banki expressed similar sympathies. But when, in 1965, Maki was torn apart by divisions over the issue of Zionism, the Banki youth movement sided with the rival, anti-Zionist faction and its like-minded break-off, the Rakah party.
This particular flag – displaying the organization's emblem in conjunction with the Israeli flag – evidently represents the brief period when the movement identified with Zionist values.
Approx. 77X107 cm (uneven edges). Good condition. Minor stains. Blemishes and minor unraveling to fabric and fringes.
