Behind the gate leading nowhere: The 'Alliance' as a monument to Napoleonic genius
The gate that goes nowhere is somehow a monument to the Napoleonic genius of the man who enabled the emancipation of the Jews.
A gate is all that is left of the entrance to the Alliance school on Jaffa Road, built in 1882. The original building was demolished after the Six Day War in 1967. (photo credit: MARC ISRAEL SELLEM)
