Album Info:
In 1932-33 an additional floor was added under the supervision of the Vienna-born Jerusalem building contractor Gottlob Bäuerle. In 1939 the Hospice was confiscated by the British as “German property”. The Rector at the time, Dr. Franz Haider, and the nurses of religious orders were interned. The house itself served as an internment camp for Austrian, German and Italian priests and members of religious orders. When the British withdrew from Palestine in 1948, they advised the Jordanian army to set up a military hospital there. It was later converted to a civilian hospital by the Jordanian government.
