New page

'''Ben Hecht''' (February 28, 1894 – April 18, 1964) was an American [[Judaism|Jewish]] screenwriter, director, producer, playwright, journalist and novelist. He gained fame early through a [[Broadway]] play, ''The Front Page'', critical of his chosen profession and the way his fellow journalists manage the news at the expense of their subjects.

But during the [[Second World War]] he became famous for something else: unabashed advocacy for the Jews against the [[Nazi]]s. In 1944, he wrote a work titled ''A Guide for the Bedeviled,'' roundly criticizing "objective thinkers" who, as he saw it, expressed too much sympathy for [[Germany|Germans]] when the first rumors of the [[Holocaust]] already had become too prominent to ignore. He also played an active role in the supply of what became the State of [[Israel]]. The [[United Kingdom|British]] boycotted his work in retaliation for his activities.
