I am talking with Rabbi Resnicoff who is at— in Washington, D.C. Excuse me. Good morning. How are you? RESNICOFF: Good morning. Very good, and looking forward to the conversation. BURACK: Good to hear. Let’s start at the beginning, in the basics. Where were you born, and when? RESNICOFF: I was born in Washington, D.C. in 1946. My father and mother got married right after World War II and moved to D.C. When I was two, they moved right over the D.C. line to a Maryland suburb, and that’s where I grew up and lived until the end of high school. BURACK: Okay. What did your parents do? RESNICOFF: My father was a lawyer, but he didn’t practice since I was alive. He actually quit his job as a lawyer the day after [the attack on] Pearl Harbor and went to volunteer to serve in the military for World War II. And they told him that he could come in as a lawyer, a JAG [Judge Advocate General], but it would take a number of months to get him the right military course, so he said, “You don’t understand. I’ve already quit my job. Just put me as anything.” So they brought him in as an enlisted man and sent him with Seabees [U.S.

  • The Four Chaplains by Ken Aldridge
    The Four Chaplains By Ken Aldridge In 1998, Congress designated February 3rd as “Four Chaplains Day” to honor four men of faith who gave their lives to save others on February 3, 1943. They were aboard the Dorchester, a U.S. troop transport ship, when it was torpedoed by a German U-boat shortly after midnight off the coast of Greenland. The ship sank within twenty minutes and of the 904 on board, only 230 survived, making it one of the worst losses of life of U.S. personnel of any American convoy during WW II. The chaplains represented four different faiths. As the ship began sinking, they did whatever they could to calm and comfort the troops and direct them out of harm’s way. When it became clear there were not enough life jackets for everyone, they gave theirs to men who needed them. As the ship went under, the chaplains were huddled together, praying and singing hymns. Their bodies were never recovered. The chaplains were: Rev. George Fox (Methodist), Rabbi Alexander Goode (Jewish), Rev. Clark Poling (Dutch Reformist), and Father John Washington (Catholic). The chaplains were honored with a Commemorative stamp, Scott #956 that was issued on May 28 1948, and was designed by Louis Schwimmer, the head of the Art Department of the New York branch of the U.S. Post Office Department (now called the USPS). This stamp is highly unusual, because until 2011, U.S. stamps were not normally issued in honor of someone other than a President of the United States until at least ten years after their death.
