New York based Shalom Maidenbaum, an avid Zionist and supporter of many Jewish causes, speaks with Eve Harow about his deceased Polish immigrant father. Shalom discovered the inner world of his father through the latter’s diaries and poems, written in beautiful Hebrew nearly a century ago when the world was a very different place. We get a personal, even intimate glimpse into the thoughts of a young man who yearns for Zion as he sees war looming over Europe. Thru his offspring his legacy lives on. Will we be able to say the same?
