Senesh was mentioned on a radio program I was just listening to and her story really piqued my interest. I've googled around and saw a few books about her (and her diary), but I was wondering if anyone here thought a specific text is more reputable? Any preferred translators?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I'm pretty sure that the official (now expanded) English translation of her diary is this one.
This website is the site of the official organization dedicated to her memory, founded by her relatives, in Israel- there are Hebrew and English versions (I linked to the English version). They include a recommended book list (though it doesn't look like it's been updated recently)- I'm not 100% sure why the John McCain book is there, but I believe it's because McCain referenced Senesh in his book.
There is also a documentary about her life, Blessed is the Match: The Life and Death of Hannah Senesh, and if you're in New York there's currently (til mid August) a one-woman show about her life, based on her diary, produced by the Folksbiene Theater, a Yiddish theater company (now probably best known for its very successful Yiddish-language Fiddler on the Roof).
