In 2007 I read "The Zionist Connection" and developed the greatest admiration for Mr. Lilienthal. I sincerely wish that I could have known him in person, and I do look forward to meeting him in heaven. I think he was one of the greatest Jews of the last century and should be honored as such.

Alfred was a dear friend and cousin. We had many wonderful discussions and despite our different views on Zionism and Israel we were great friends over many years.
