My grandfather, Harry Levite, was a young Zionist in the 1910s, long before the founding of the Israeli state, long before the Holocaust, before World War I in which Chaim Weizmann would save England with artificially produced acetone to make saltpeter for munitions — the swap which helped to secure a location for a Jewish homeland. In the before times, my grandfather was an active Zionist.
