Nina Rosenwald
Nina Rosenwald is an American political activist and philanthropist. An heiress to the Sears Roebuck fortune, Rosenwald is vice president of the William Rosenwald Family Fund and co-chair of the board of American Securities Management. She is the founder and president of Gatestone Institute, a New York-based right-wing think tank.
A descendant of philanthropists and Jewish refugees from Eastern Europe, Rosenwald has focused on donating to pro-Israel organizations.
Born and raised in New York City, Rosenwald is one of three daughters of William Rosenwald and Mary Kurtz Rosenwald. Her sisters are Elizabeth R. Varet and Alice Rosenwald.
Rosenwald's grandfather, Julius Rosenwald, was an early investor in Sears, Roebuck & Company, and served as president of the company from 1908 to 1924. Thereafter, until his death in January 1932, he served as chairman. In 1912, he partnered with Booker T. Washington and the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (later Tuskegee University) to build more than 5,000 schoolhouses for African-American children throughout the South.
Rosenwald's father moved from Chicago to New York City in the early 1930s and was chairman of the investment firm American Securities. In 1939, he was one of three founding members of the United Jewish Appeal (UJA). Rosenwald's mother, a professional violinist, was a refugee from both the Russian Revolution and Nazi Germany.
Rosenwald received a B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers, New York, and her M.A. in English from New York University in New York City.[citation needed]
Rosenwald's political activism began in the 1970s in support of Senator Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson. She also supported the campaigns of Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, serving for many years on his campaign finance committee. In 1984, Rosenwald was appointed to the Rules Committee of the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco, and she served as a delegate from New York at the 1996 Democratic National Convention.
According to the Militarist Monitor website, formerly known as "Right Web", Rosenwald's donations to pro-Israel organizations have "earned her a place of considerable influence in the 'pro-Israel' firmament". She has served on the board of directors of many pro-Israel organizations, including Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP), the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and the Hudson Institute and was vice president of Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA). In 2003, she was a recipient of the Louis Brandeis Award, given by the Zionist Organization of America for her pro-Israel advocacy.
