typed on paper label on reverse c.: ISRAEL: Refugees live in tents in the receiving camp of / Shaar Aliyah near Haifa. Capa wrote, "Among all these people / at most only one-third are really fitted for the hard work and / tough conditions of the struggling new state. But the doors / of Israel are open to any and every Jew who want to enter." / This was made possible by the 1950 Law of Return. / (50-5-54)
