Catalogue Note

Sinatra was a lifelong sympathizer with Jewish causes, and was awarded the Hollzer Memorial Award by the Los Angeles Jewish Community in 1949. On the 1st of November 1972, he raised $6.5 million in bond pledges for Israel, and was subsequently given the Medallion of Valor for this effort.  He was also awarded an honorary Oscar for his performance in The House I Live In (RKO Radio Picture, 1945), a short film in which Sinatra—apparently playing himself—intervenes when he witnesses a group of children chasing a Jewish boy.  Sinatra goes on to argue that one American's blood is as good as another's, and that all religions ought to be respected (see lot 85).
