    About this ebook

    Twelve contentious legal cases serve as definitive markers in the ebb and flow of modern Jewish history. Ranging from the blood libel trials of the late-nineteenth century until the trial of the Holocaust at the beginning of the twenty-first century legal battles have consumed the Jewish community worldwide. Beginning with the infamous Dreyfus affair, continuing through the story of Leo Frank, the trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, the capture and trial of Adolf Eichmann, and the lengthy incarceration of Jonathan Pollard, we can view the sweep of modern Jewish history.

    Gerald Ziedenberg

    Gerald Ziedenberg is a retired pharmacist who became a historian later in life. Following his retirement from a highly successful retail career, he embarked on a fifteen-year journey that eventually led to a master’s degree in modern Jewish history. Along the way, he earned a scholarship as the best part-time graduate history student. Gerald has written and lectured for over twenty years on modern Jewish history, speaking in numerous synagogues and to organizations in Canada, the United States, and Israel. A special focus of his lectures has been the inspirational lives of those who made a difference in the course of Jewish life in the twentieth century. Gerald has written three other books: Inspiration through Adversity, an autobiography; Blockade, a book about Jewish immigration; and Epic Trials in Jewish History.
