Large and earlier photograph [30×22 cm], of the lawyer and ambassador Joseph Kaiserman (Caesary).
Joseph Kaiserman [1894-1963]: Born in Jaffa, his father was the agronomist Nathan Kaiserman, a well-known public activist during the settlement, director of the Anglo-Palestine Bank branch in Haifa and chairman of the Haifa community committee. Kaiserman was a graduate of the Second Cycle of the Herzliya Gymnasium and then studied law in Geneva, and in 1921 was ordained a lawyer. Mainly engaged in criminal justice and appeared as a defense attorney in more than 50 murder trials. In 1934, Caesari (Kaiserman – then his name) represented, alongside Horace Samuel, the defendant’s chief defense attorney, Avraham Stavsky at the Arlozorov murder trial in the Serious Crimes Court in Jerusalem. Starting in 1934, Caesar was the first chairman of a Rotary club in Haifa and headed the Haifa Bar Association. He was a member of the Central Committee of the Israel Bar Association, the body that preceded the Israeli Bar Association. From 1954 to 1956, he served as the Israeli ambassador of Mexico, and a non-resident axis in several Central American countries. (His brother was Uri Caesari, an Israeli journalist and cultural figure, the first editor of “This World”).
