How One Young Woman Rescued 72 Jewish Orphans After the Holocaust

What happened to the thousands of Jewish children left orphaned after the Holocaust? In this episode of Israel Unveiled, I share the remarkable true story of Hasi Bornstein—a young Jewish resistance fighter who dedicated herself to rescuing orphaned Jewish children in the aftermath of World War II. With courage, determination, and extraordinary love, she located dozens of children scattered across post-war Poland, cared for them, and ultimately led 72 Jewish orphans on a dangerous journey to the Land of Israel. It's a story of survival, sacrifice, hope, and the rebirth of the Jewish people. Today, generations of descendants exist because one young woman refused to give up on children who had lost everything.

Golda Meir Part 2: The woman Who Helped Save the Jewish State

In Part 2 of our series on Golda Meir, we follow her from the eve of Israel's independence to her final years as the first — and only — woman to serve as Prime Minister of the Jewish state. From a secret diplomatic mission to King Abdullah of Jordan, to a fundraising tour across America that doubled its $25 million target, to her signature on Israel's Declaration of Independence, Golda's fingerprints are everywhere in the founding story of the nation. We trace her tenure as ambassador to the Soviet Union, Minister of Labor during the great waves of post-war immigration, Foreign Minister through the Suez Crisis, and her ascent to Prime Minister in the wake of the Six-Day War — and the devastating weight she carried after the Yom Kippur War. David Ben-Gurion once said of her: “One day it will be told how one small woman saved the Jewish state.” This is that story.
