6. Magen David
Adom
The first seeds of Magen David
Adom in Israel were planted at
a meeting held in Philadelphia in
October 1918, attended by
David Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir
and Henrietta Szold. There
was great concern that the
Jewish Legion of Palestine,
otherwise known as the 38th
Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers
of the British Army during
World War I, who were fighting
to liberate Eretz Yisrael from
Turkish rule, needed medical
help. A Magen David Adom
organization was organized to
aid both the Jewish Legion and
the settlers in Palestine.
It was disbanded at the
end of the war.

7. Women of Valor - Henrietta Szold

Forced to await the war's conclusion, the American Zionist Medical
Unit (AZMU) embarked in 1918 with forty-five doctors and nurses
and four hundred tons of supplies. The unit transformed medical
care in Palestine, introducing equipment that had never been seen
in the region before.
