My New Hero.
Hannah, a Palestinian Jew, born in Hungary was a Zionist and prolific poet.
Captured, beaten and imprisoned by the Gestapo.
'Senesh', was a resistance spy and parachutist for Palestine.
She was
...an affective enemy of Hitler and Germany in 1945.
Martyred in Palestine.
Her body toured Palestine and lay in state for 3 days!
She is laid to rest in Palestine, forever honored along side some of her comrades.
She was 22 years old,
when she made her last, remarkably courageous stand.
She stood up for and died for ..."the two great passions in her life".
One was her country, Hungary.
The other was her mother, Catherine Senesh, a Jew and death march escapee.
Hannah was trying to do her small part and help "liberate" as many, even one Jew (especially her mother) from the hands of the Natzees.
Though she did not succeed, she did get to spend time in the same prison,
with her mother.
Who knows how Hannah's courage strengthened her mother!
After several months and a trial, early one morning, Hannah was escorted
out of her cell and into an execution.
5 day later, her mother, Catherine, was forced on a death march and escaped.
She lived out her days in Palestine with her only son, Giore.
Catherine Senesh, lived a long, long life, living to see many celebrations of her daughters life and Hannah's amazing poetry.
They called Hannah, another Joan of Ark.
Readers, we proclaim love for country.
We even proclaim love for each other.
If ever it came time, to prove your love
in the ultimate fashion, would you? Could you?
What or who, will you really stand up for?
ONE PERSON, CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
And victory, is not always marked by a happy ending.
To the memory of, Hannah Senesh.
