The socio-political-state entity in formation in the pre-state settlement [the Yishuv] until the beginning of World War II and thereafter until the establishment of the state is presented in this room.
The social aspect is presented through Tel Aviv of the 1920s and 1930s, portrayed with its multifaceted character via “The White City.” Later, the “Working Settlement” is presented with a full range of display techniques. The aspect of security is presented, among other things, via the Great Arab Revolt and volunteers to the British army during World War II. One of the ways in which the state aspect is presented is shown by the debate that arose in the Jewish Yishuv with the proposal of the First Partition Plan in 1937 (Peel Commission).
The second part of this chapter deals with the War of Independence, describing major events and battles until the signing of the Armistice Agreements in 1949.
