Jerusalem in World War One: Leah Tannenbaum. Part 5
Manage episode 341104644 series 2907563
The month is ending, but not the more or less naughty comments being made about the projected wedding of Djemal Pasha with a beautiful Jewish lady named Leah Tennenbaum. The news seemed so unlikely to me that I gave it the least importance, but it persists, and there is no one in the city who is not commenting on it.
– Consul Conde de Ballobar, Jerusalem, 31 May 1915.
In this final episode of Jerusalem in World War One, I will bring to you the stories of Leah Tannenbaum and Abcarius Bey. Leah was know in Jerusalem as a beauty queen but also as the mistress of Cemal Pasha during the war. In this episode I will try to make sense of their stories, what we know and their legacy which is encapsulated in Villa Leah, one of the finest examples of Bauhouse in Jerusalem still today.
Most of this episode is based on the work done by Norbert Schwake and published by the Jerusalem Quarterly.
