Abstract:
Provides background on the Palestine Shipping Company founded by Bernstein (a German-Jewish owner of a shipping line) before discussing the spatial factors that influenced the emergence of a Jewish shipping industry. Siegel suggests that the construction of a Jewish maritime “space” in the 1930s, strongly desired by the Jewish Zionist leaders in Eretz Israel as part of their ideology, was guided by ideological clashes, economic and political interests, and personal networks. Bernstein had founded the Palestine Shipping Company in1934, and it emerged as an important link for Jewish emigration to Palestine during the late 1930s. He and his wife emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1939.
