    The following document, I found by chance and bought it instantly. The story here is about a Germans couple during the British Mandate in Palestine which includes not only a German passport issued at the consulate in Haifa but also a photo album with about 180 interesting pictures, mainly from Haifa and its surroundings showing the country and its people, British policemen searching Arab men, harbor work, tanks, armed vehicles in front of a police station, prominent visitors, family outings, visits to Lebanon, Sabbath pacifists, Damascus, etc.

    Included is a certificate from the Advent Mission Society for the passport holder, Lina Piorr. A letter of 1957 confirming her stay in Haifa from 1933 to 1937 - The passport of Lina Piorr (issued by the German Consulate in Haifa in 1937) and Alfred Piorr's German identity card (issued in 1980).

    Dombrowsky and Piorr met at the Mission School Neandertal of the Seventh-day Adventists; then, they trained together as nurses at the Waldfriede Hospital in Berlin-Zehlendorf. They married and worked as nurses in Haifa in the 1930s, where they lived with their two children.
