(ZIONISM)

New York

1946

Advocating the creation of a Homeland for the Jewish people in the the Land of Israel, ‘A Flag is Born’ was a theatrical production that raised funds and political support for Zionist causes, specifically for the American League for a Free Palestine, an organization run by the dynamic activist Hillel Kook (a.k.a. Peter Bergson). The production starred a young Marlon Brando. See Rafael Medoff, Ben Hecht's ‘A Flag is Born:’ A Play That Changed History (The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies).
