Aharon Megged's Hanna Senesh

Gene A. Plunka

pp. 155-164

Israeli playwright Aharon Megged was born in Poland in 1920 and emigrated from there to Palestine in 1926. He lived in Kibbutz Sedot Yam from 1939 to 1950, which is where he met Hanna Senesh.1 Although he has written nearly twenty novels and short stories, as well as several plays, his literary reputation is largely confined to Israel.2 Megged was Israel's cultural attaché in London and writer-in-residence at Oxford University and the University of Haifa. Living in Palestine during World War II, Megged was only indirectly affected by the Holocaust.
