Bamba looks like a simple peanut snack, but in Israel it became something much bigger. For years Israeli parents gave it to their babies because it was soft, easy and everywhere. What no one realised at first was that this everyday snack was shaping an entire generation.   For a long time doctors in many countries advised parents to keep nuts away from babies. In Israel the opposite happened by accident. Babies ate Bamba early, and researchers later discovered that Israel had

Mordechai Anielewicz was the commander of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, one of the most important acts of Jewish resistance in modern history. Born in Poland in 1919, he grew up in a world that was turning darker by the year. When the Nazis forced more than four hundred thousand Jews into the Warsaw Ghetto, Anielewicz helped organise a youth movement that refused to accept helplessness as their future.   By early 1943 it was clear that the ghetto would be emptied. Instead of wa

Elie Wiesel was born in Sighet, Hungary (now Romania) and was 15 years old when he was deported with his family to Auschwitz in 1944. He survived Auschwitz and Buchenwald, emerging as one of the youngest witnesses to the Holocaust. His book Night remains one of the most powerful testaments to human endurance and moral responsibility.   Wiesel’s message was simple and unwavering: indifference is the enemy. He reminded the world that silence helps the oppressor, never the victi

Steve Witkoff was best known as a powerhouse real-estate developer. In 2025, he stepped into one of the toughest roles of our time, bringing Israeli hostages home.   In late 2024, then President-elect Donald Trump appointed Witkoff as Special Envoy to the Middle East, even though he had no formal diplomatic experience.

These writings still shape how educators around the world think about children’s dignity.   When the Nazis occupied Pol
