Mr. Lerman was born in Poland and pioneered in Palestine as a member of Haganah and a member of the Israeli Army. He fought in the war of Independence and co-authored the book The Stone Pillow. Arlene Kurtis was born in New York City and attended the High School of Music and Art (now LaGuardia H.S.), the University of Wisconsin and graduated from NYU with a government major. Kurtis has worked on screen magazines and edited women's magazines. She married Alan A. Kurtis, an engineer, and they raised two children. Kurtis wrote two books and edited a local newspaper, worked for the City of New York at the City Record as an editor before moving to Florida with her husband in 1977. She then worked for Palm Beach Jewish World as cultural editor. She has written three non-fiction books before her novel "Lila's Hamsa." She is the co-author of The Stone Pillow. Extracted from a posting on the Library Thing: This is an amazing story about a Jewish boy born in Poland who emigrates to then-Palestine pre-WW2 to help create the modern state of Israel, then later moves to the United States. Haganah (The Defence) was the main Zionist paramilitary organization of the Jewish population in Mandatory Palestine between 1920 and its disestablishment in 1948, when it became the core of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Formed out of previous existing militias, its original purpose was to defend Jewish settlements from Arab attacks, such as the riots of 1920, 1921, 1929 and during the 1936-1939 Arab revolt in Palestine. It was under the control of the Jewish Agency, the official governmental body in charge of Palestine's Jewish community during the British Mandate. Until the end of the Second World War, Haganah's activities were moderate, in accordance with the policy of havlaga ("self-restraint"), which caused the splitting of the more radical Irgun and Lehi. The group received clandestine military support from Poland. Haganah sought cooperation with the British in the event of an Axis invasion of Palestine through North Africa, prompting the creation of the Palmach task force in 1941. With the end of World War II and British refusal to cancel the 1939 White Paper's restrictions on Jewish immigration, the Haganah turned to sabotage activities against the British authorities, including bombing bridges, rail lines, and ships used to deport illegal Jewish immigrants, as well as assisting in bringing Jews to Palestine in defiance of British policy. After the United Nations adopted a partition plan for Palestine in 1947, the Haganah came into the open as the biggest fighting force among Palestinian Jews, successfully overcoming Arab forces during the civil war. Shortly after Israel's independence declaration and the beginning of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the Haganah was merged with other groups and reorganized into the official army of the state.
