This is Herman Hollander's autobiography. Born in Altoona, Prussia, Hollander moved in 1931 to New York, where he became a successful businessman in the leather industry. At one point in 1943, it was possible to ransom Jewish captives from the Nazis. "That Friday afternoon," Hollander recalled, "I proposed to my wife that we sell our very comfortable three-story home and give the difference between the mortgage and the selling price to the Vaad Hatzala for the release of the ransomed Jews. My suggestion meant we would have to move into my in-laws' house until we found other accommodations. My wife readily agreed. After my in-laws also consented, we sold our house and gave the money to the Vaad." In 1948, Hollander was among those who voted to declare a Jewish state and he was one of the first American Jews to settle in Israel. He was also part of the Israeli founders committee for Bar-Ilan University, along with Moshe Haim Shapira, Dr. Joseph Burg, Dr. Zerach Warhaftig, David Pinkas, M. D. Magid, Y. Karib, Rabbi Zev Gold, and others. Glossary. Index. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good condition/Very Good dust jacket. 8vo. 377pp. …
