Discover the extraordinary, unsung Americans who helped shape and defend the State of Israel. From frontline nurses and social workers to covert intelligence operatives and military commanders, this talk brings history to life through gripping personal accounts. Audiences will uncover the forgotten legacies of figures like Rose Kaplan, Captain James Holt Green, Colonel David "Mickey" Marcus, Al Schwimmer, and Hank Greenspun—courageous pioneers whose impact continues to define the alliance between two nations.
Yuval Malchi, an Israeli-American, is one of Israel’s most prominent storytellers, a public historian, and a household name in Israeli media. As the creator and host as some of Israel’s top-ranking podcasts, his ability to weave complex realities into compelling narratives has captured the hearts of millions.
Among Yuval’s major accomplishments is the podcast History for Kids, recently adapted into an animated television series by Paramount.
