Harry Sacher (c.1882-1971)〔http://thepeerage.com/p36835.htm#i368345 Encyclopedia Judaica has 1881 as the birth year.〕 was a British Jew, a prominent lawyer and a Zionist Leader. ==Biography== Sacher wrote for the Manchester Guardian 〔Trial and error: the autobiography of Chaim Weizmann, Volume 1〕 as a political analyst. In Palestine, Sacher co-founded the law firm of Sacher, Horowitz & Klebanoff. The firm held offices In Jerusalem and Haifa as well as a branch in London. Already in the 1920s Sacher became the most prominent attorney in the country. He was legal adviser to the Palestine Zionist Executive and also counted the Municipality of Tel Aviv among his regular clients.〔Shamir, Ronen (2000) The Colonies of Law: Colonialism, Zionism, and Law in Early Mandate Palestine. Cambridge University Press, pp. 122〕 At the same time he was an enthusiast of English law and was among the main opponents of the Hebrew Law of Peace system that aspired for autonomy from Palestine's British-based system of law and courts.〔Shamir, Ronen (2000) The Colonies of Law: Colonialism, Zionism, and Law in Early Mandate Palestine. Cambridge University Press, pp. 109〕 His most important private client (and personal confidant)had been Pinhas Rutenberg who, under his legal guidance,created the Jaffa Electric Company and later the Palestine Electric Company under British concession. Harry Sacher was therefore an important figure in the process of providing Palestine with electric energy.〔Shamir, Ronen (2013) Current Flow: The Electrification of Palestine. Stanford: Stanford University Press〕 An active Zionist, He was elected to the Executive of the WZO, and worked closely with Chaim Weizmann in their efforts to define and lead the WZO during the 20s and 30s, and contributed to early drafts of the Balfour declaration. He had significant involvement in the establishment of Hebrew University. Sacher married the sister of Simon Marks in 1915. He subsequently joined Marks & Spencer, and was made director in 1932.〔http://marksintime.marksandspencer.com/People/〕 The largest park in Jerusalem bears his name. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harry Sacher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
