Fire in My Heart: Hannah Senesh

with chamber music by Jonathan Berger, Max Helfman, Matt van Brink, Meira Warshauer & David Zehari performed by the AGAM Ensemble

Oct 13, 2010 | 7:00 pm

Featuring classical music, poetry and diary readings, this theatrical event honors Israel’s most important World War II hero, poet Hannah Senesh (1921–1944). Senesh, a Hungarian Jew who immigrated to the Land of Israel in 1939, joined the British Army in 1943 to help the Allied efforts and rescue Jews from Nazi-occupied Hungary. After parachuting into Yugoslavia, Senesh eventually crossed into her native Hungary, was imprisoned and executed by a firing squad.
