Leon Blum, socialist and human rights activist, France's first Jewish prime minister, was born in Paris in 1894. He graduated with honors from the Sorbonne and at the age of 22 became known as a writer and poet and later as an important art critic. Influenced by the Dreyfus trial he turned to politics. Considered the founder of the Modern Socialist Party of France. In 1936, he was appointed Prime Minister of the Left Alliance, known as the Front Populaire. His government instituted a 40-hour workweek and another string of social benefits including economic reforms. In 1937 he was forced to retire after the fall of France to the Nazis and was tried by the Vichy government as a war criminal. His brilliant appearance at trial embarrassed the French government
And Germany, the trial was stopped and he was sent to a concentration camp. In 1945 he was released by Allied forces. Supported Zionism and worked for the French vote in favor of the establishment of the State of Israel. Kfar Blum in Israel is named after him.
