(1893-1945) A prominent Jewish Zionist figure. Born in present-day Belarus, Golomb moved to Palestine in 1909. After forming a Jewish militia during World War I, he became one of the founding members of the Jewish paramilitary group Haganah. Golomb worked within the Revisionist Zionist movement, trying to unify Jewish defense/paramilitary actions. Traveling extensively for the Haganah and acquiring weapons for the group, Golomb also organized and funded much of the illegal Jewish immigration to Palestine in the 1930s.
