History Lecture Series Lesser Known Heroes in Jewish History
There are many heroes in Jewish history who are not well known. Jack Cohen has been collecting the names and biographies of many such people and suggested a talk on a few of them, since each one might not require a full lecture. Often they have made one significant contribution. The five most deserving people Jack selected are: Isaac Rosenberg (1890-1918) British WWI poet; Shmuel Ziegelboim (1895-1943) Jewish representative to the Polish Government in exile in London during WWII; Richard Meinertzhagen (1878-1967) British spy and representative of the Zionists after WWI; Sir Solly Zuckerman (1904-1993) S. African Jew who became science advisor to the British Defense Ministry in WWII; and Zvika Greengold (1952- ) Israeli military hero who stopped the Syrian tank advance on the Golan in 1973. This suggestion then stimulated a new series on this topic, including descriptions of heroic acts by Aaron Aaronsohn and the Nili spies, Irene Sendler, who saved Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto, and even Jewish American gangsters. Join us to hear about the fascinating lives and contributions of some lesser known heroes of Jewish history.
