| description | The Second World War did occur in Jerusalem. That period, not very often studied, remains decisive in the millennial city’s recent transformation. Between 1939 and 1945, Jerusalem was indeed a city in peace in world at war. Peace in relation to so many other cities at war. Peace in contrast with the periods preceding and following the world conflict in Jerusalem. And yet, under the British mandate, on the maps of the military general staff, Jerusalem was involved in the war. Jerusalem is thus part of this war without a full involvement, as a witness of the conflict. A time of suspension begins in the history of the city, whose population understands that its destiny relies on the war being fought far from their land. New futures are foreseen, a different relation to the otherness, as well as a dense urban life. Meanwhile, in the City Hall of Jerusalem, political tension arises, foreshadowing the new fights to come in the aftermath of the global conflict. |
