S. Smulewitz (Small), Hurban
Titanic (The Titanic's
disaster) (New York, 1912). The sinking of the super
transatlantic liner Titanic was a tragedy that
shocked all of America. The Jewish community was particularly
touched by the drowning of Ida Straus, who refused a place
on a lifeboat reserved for women and children, choosing
to share the fate of her husband, the beloved philanthropist,
Isidor Straus. The drawing by J. Keller portrays an angel
placing the wreath of immortality on their heads. |
