Jakob Moneta: Jew - Unionist - Socialist

"In this filmic documentary Jakob Moneta, who was born in 1914 in Blasow, Eastern Galicia (today's Poland), talks about his wild life, as a leftist Jew who starts his union activity in Palestine and supports a common state for Arabs and Jews at an early stage, as a secretary for social affairs at the German embassy in Paris (...), as chief editor of "metall" (...) where he stood behind its political position against the Vietnam war and the emergency laws, as a socialist who supported emancipatory currents within the labor movement all his life."
