Abstract

Given by Menachem Begin at a commemorative event for the Soviet city of Brisk, which served as a home for 20,000 Jews before they were slaughtered by the Nazis, this newly translated speech (courtesy of Straus Center Associate Director Dr. Neil Rogachevsky) touches on many of ideas that Begin advocated for during his storied political career, including reverence for the Jewish past, Jewish unity and inner courage.
