How did an ancient story of mass suicide become the cornerstone of Israeli national identity? In Part 2, Noam traces Masada's unlikely revival, from forgotten footnote to rallying cry in the shadow of the Holocaust. But the story rests on a single source: Josephus, a man who surrendered to Rome and wrote under Roman patronage. That's the power of myth. And Noam explores: should Masada remain a national icon?"
Masada – In the Light of Halakhah by Dov I. Frimer
Ari Shavit, My Promised Land
Yael Zerubavel, Recovered Roots: Collective Memory and the Making of Israeli National Tradition
