My Righteous Gentile: Lord Wedgwood and Other Memories Overview
This memoir has two protagonists: Josiah Wedgwood, Member of Parliament and ardent Christian Zionist, and the author herself, whose spirit shines from its pages. She tells of her family: her grandfather, head of Orthodox Jewry in Hungary, her scholarly father, her feminist-Zionist mother, her brilliant sister. A happy childhood – in democratic Czechoslovakia -- makes more poignant the tragedy that would follow. Wedgwood visited their small Carpathian town in the 1920’s to preach Zionism. Gabriella was chosen to present him with a bouquet of flowers, and, after Munich, she appealed for his help. He responded with visas for Britain, saving her life and that of her younger brother. Wedgwood’s country estate was a haven for refugees, and her future husband, an American who had emigrated from her hometown, called on her there. They were married a month before war broke out in Europe and settled in Philadelphia, where, in 1946, they learned of her family’s death at Auschwitz. Gabriella dedicated herself to the survival of the Jewish people, in Israel and in America, raising three sons and promoting Jewish education, as teacher, principal and administrator in Philadelphia, Phoenix and San Diego. She was the first woman elected to the National Board of the Jewish Educators’ Assembly.
