Hannah Senesh - A life...

Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame.
Blessed is the flame that burns in the secret fastness of the heart.
Blessed is the heart with strength to stop its beating for honor's sake.
Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame.


Hannah Senesh, the writer of this poem, left Eretz Israel to save her brothers in hostile foreign lands during World War II.

Did she have an inkling of her tragic end?

Her legacy includes a personal diary, poems, letters, a testimony of her own life. Added to this treasure is everything found on her mission, imprisonment and death at the age of 23. A unique record of a very special person - Hannah Senesh.
