The book's collaborators ...
were
connected by their Zionism and friendship with Abba Hillel Silver
(1893 - 1963).
- Dr. Emanuel Neumann
(1893–1980) grew up with Abba Hillel Silver in New York's Lower East Side.
Their adult lives were devoted
to the Zionist cause, Silver as a rabbi, Neumann as an
attorney and organizational leader. His last service to his
friend was to speak at his funeral. (See
our page.) (Read my
recollections.)
- Harold P Manson
(1918-1984), who wrote the historical notes that are an
important part of Vision and Victory, was director
of information for the American Zionist Emergency
Council from 1944 to 1948. He married Emanuel
Neumann's daughter Natanya in 1957.
- Sulamith Schwartz
(1908-2002), who assisted, was a
granddaughter of Rev. Tzvi Hirsch Masliansky (1856-1943),
our
nation's greatest Yiddish preacher and an early Zionist
leader. Our Masliansky pages
describe how he was Silver's boyhood mentor and oratorical inspiration.
