1/ Menachem Begin was one of the giants of Israeli history. Born in the city of Brest, then in the Russian Empire in 1913, he saw first-hand the ravages of antisemitism. Raised in a traditional Jewish house, he was raised a fervent Zionist, when he joined Betar at age 16.
2/ He studied law at the University of Warsaw, and learned the oratory and rhetoric skills that would follow him throughout his life. He founded a self-defense group of Jewish students to stop antisemitic harassment, and became a disciple of Zeev #Jabotinsky in 1935.
