Biography
Yitzhak Gruenbaum was a Polish and later Israeli politician. He was a leader of the Bloc of National Minorities and one of the top Zionist leaders in interwar Poland.
"I think it is necessary to state here – Zionism is above everything."
"I will not demand that the Jewish Agency allocate a sum of 300,000 or 100,000 pounds sterling to help European Jewry. And I think that whoever demands such things is performing an anti-Zionist act."
"Indeed, there were Jews, like Yitzhak Gruenbaum, the Polish Zionist leader, who sincerely hoped for a united front of German and Jewish minorities [in Central and Eastern Europe]. Yet far from uniting in their common adversity, insecure Germans turned against even more insecure Jews."
