- The founder of Cultural Zionism: Just one of the people
Ahad Ha'am Street occupies the heart of Tel Aviv; it's full of grand Bauhaus buildings and artistic cafes, with Tel Aviv's Great Synagogue on the corner. Ahad Ha'am means "one of the people" in Hebrew, and is the pen name of Asher Zvi Ginzberg, the founder of Cultural Zionism.
Lauded by such greats as Chaim Weizmann, Israel's first President, and Hayim Nahman Bialik, Israel's national poet, as an inspiration, Ahad Ha'am foresaw both the Israel/Palestine conflict AND the solution as early as 1891.

Before she died in Bergen Belsen, Anne Frank said, "Despite everything, I believe that people are, at heart, really good."
The English edition of her diary was introduced by Eleanor Roosevelt, and it was read by Nelson Mandela in prison for inspiration.
