Life
David Anderman has been interested in photography since his youth, stimulated by his uncle Fred Dunkel , who was a film pioneer in Germany and later in Palestine. Anderman began studying medicine in Vienna, which he broke off in 1934 when he emigrated to Palestine . He first lived in a kibbutz and then worked for the Jewish Agency , which supported the escape of Jewish youth from Europe to Palestine. At the beginning of 1938 he went to Vienna to attend the funeral of his father and, after the annexation of Austria in March of that year, narrowly escaped arrest by the Gestapo. After his return to Palestine, he became a soldier in the British Army in 1938 and was stationed in Cairo . He continued to pursue his interest in photography and specialized in self-study in portrait photography .
After his discharge from the army in 1946, he opened a photo studio in Tel Aviv . After the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, he worked, now under the name Eldan, as a photographer for the photography department of the Government Press Office (GPO), which was initially headed by Moshe Pearlman . During the Eichmann trial in 1961, he was responsible for the television recordings.
Eldan built up the GPO's photo archive, which also serves as an archive for other photographers. Moshe Milner succeeded him in office.
