In many ways, given his upbringing and limited education, Harry Truman would seem to be an unlikely champion for the new, fledgling state of Israel. Yet, he would emerge as a great champion both for statehood in 1948 and issues of importance to the larger Jewish diaspora. Truman would play a key role in the post-Holocaust, post-war years on behalf of Israel and the Jewish people.
This talk, based on extensive research in the Truman archives and in-depth interviews with former Truman aides and Israeli officials, will explore the behind-the-scenes challenges, decisions, and relationships, and will offer an entertaining and informative look at this inspiring story.
