Catalogue Note
The present work comes from the collection of the late Abba and Suzy Eban. Abba Eban, a linguist and exceptional orator, was one of Israel's most influential statesmen, serving as a diplomat, member of the Knesset, ambassador to the United States and permanent representative to the United Nations. Among other successes, Eban also acted as President of the Weizmann Institute of Science. In 2001, he was awarded the Israel Prize for lifetime achievement and special contribution to society and the State. His wife, Suzy was born in Egypt and spent her youth in Cairo. The two met during the Second World War when Abba Eban was a British Army intelligence officer stationed in Cairo. They married in 1943 and settled in Eretz Israel. Mrs. Eban worked tirelessly on behalf of the Israel Cancer Association. From 1950 to 1998 Eban functioned as the association's founding president.
