Of the many books and references I consulted, three really stand out:
Resistance: The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
by Israel Gutman;
The Struggle for Peace: Israelis and Palestinians
edited by Elizabeth Warnock Fernea and Mary Evelyn Hocking; and
Masada
, by Yigael Yadin, the archaeologist who uncovered the rock’s mysteries in the 1960s.
Thanks to “St. Catherine’s fifth grade”—Jennifer, Darla & Dr. Amy—for the beta testing.
Thanks to Sara Schwager, who brought the Hebrew in line with the pronunciation used in the 1940s.
Thank’s also to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., for refusing to let memories die away like
the smoke from the camps. And to the writings of Elie Wiesel, who brought Avram Mordecai into sharp focus for me when he wrote
of having to remember, even if “condemned to live as long as God himself.”

He is immortal. A Scottish warrior born four hundred years ago. He is not alone. For centuries he has fought others like himself. He can die only if a foe takes his head, capturing his life-force in an event known as the Quickening. But his battles are eternal...for in the end, there can be only one. He is Duncan MacLeod. The Highlander.
NEVER AGAIN
The Hebrew warrior Avram Mordecai has defended his people since the Roman siege of Masada, through 2000 years of Diaspora, ghettos, pogroms, and the Holocaust. And MacLeod has fought beside him, saving Jews from the Nazis in World War II. Now the Highlander is protecting a beautiful Palestinian diplomat at peace talks that the Zealot has vowed to disrupt by any means-including murder...
