Description

Yeshayahu Leibowitz was born in 1903 in Riga, Latvia. He fled from Russia in 1916 and sought shelter in Berlin during the Weimar Republic. As the Nazis rose to power, being a committed Zionist, he left Germany and headed for Palestine. Over the years he has become a controversial figure due to his strong beliefs that Israel should leave the occupied territories. A moving portrait of a man and his ideas.
