70 Years Since the Death of Hannah Senesh Friday, November 7th marks 70 years since the execution of the poet Hannah Senesh by the Nazis during WWII. Senesh, a member of the British Army, was one of 37 Jews from Palestine to parachute into Yugoslavia during WWII to assist in the rescue of Hungarian Jews. Senesh was captured at the Hungarian border, imprisoned, tortured and ultimately executed on Nov. 7, 1944. During her time as a captured prisoner in her native Budapest, she refused to provide details of her mission. Senesh is regarded as one of the greatest heroines in Jewish history. If you do nothing else this Friday, please watch this moving 4 minute music video on the heroism and courage of Hannah Senesh. The video is a well known song written by Senesh – Eli, Eli – performed by acclaimed Canadian jazz vocalist and Juno-winner Sophie Milman. https://youtube/watch?v=lHAhqfoOHFs&feature=youtu.be Please share with as many people as possible…
