An elderly Jewish couple forced to leave Jerusalem in 1948 as the invading Jordanians seized control of the city and evicted the Jewish population.
Prior to this, the Jews made up 54-62% of the population of Jerusalem. After their forced expulsion, the Jordanian forces destroyed the synagogues and much of the Jewish quarter in Jerusalem.
