The Last Battle for the Old City Museum

The Last Battle for the Old City Museum, located in the Old City’s Jewish Quarter, presents the events of the day in May, 1948 when Jewish residents were expelled from the Old City. The events are through the lens of British photojournalist John Phillips, who lived in the Old City at the time and accompanied the Jordanian soldiers as they closed in on the Jewish defenders. The Museum screens a five-minute-long silent documentary film from the time of the siege.
