During his college career, <mask> broke 17 school and conference records. Professional career

1997: Drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies
The Philadelphia Phillies made <mask> the second overall pick, after pitcher Matt Anderson, in the 1997 MLB draft. <mask> and his agent Scott Boras chose not to sign with the Phillies, insisting <mask> would not sign for less than $10 million. The Phillies had no plan to pay an unproven player this amount of money, and despite Boras' warnings, drafted <mask> nonetheless.They offered him $2.6 million. Consequently, <mask> ended up playing for the St. Paul Saints of the independent Northern League. Boras had <mask> sign with an independent baseball league because of a loophole in the rules of the MLB draft. 1998–2003: St. Louis Cardinals
After playing for St. Paul in the 1997 season, <mask> was selected in the first round of the 1998 MLB draft, fifth overall, by the St. Louis Cardinals. In June he signed a $7 million contract, then hit .316 through 26 games with the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds. He was recalled by the Cardinals and made his debut on September 8, 1998—the game in which teammate Mark McGwire broke the single-season home run record previously held by Roger Maris. <mask>'s first at bat, in the sixth inning, resulted in a strikeout, and he finished the night 0-for-2.He ended up going 15-for-36 (.417) during 1998, with five home runs. On August 9, on what would have been <mask>'s first game in Philadelphia, he sat out, citing a bruised right hand. In an attempt to confuse the Philadelphia fans, he did not wear his own jersey that night, which instead was worn by bullpen catcher, <mask>. The attempt failed, however, and he was booed and heckled throughout batting practice. The only time he received cheers was when he booted three consecutive grounders in the outfield while his teammates were taking batting practice. On August 10, 1999, in <mask>'s first game at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, he was booed loudly, and even had batteries thrown at him by two fans. The Phillie Phanatic got into the act, dropping two large trash bags marked with dollar signs in the outfield between innings.<mask> struggled to stay healthy, landing on the disabled list every season he played in St. Louis. In his book Three Nights in August, Buzz Bissinger mentions former manager Tony La Russa's frustration with <mask>'s lack of passion. La Russa tells Bissinger that it seems <mask> had decided to "settle for 75%" of his talent, in large part because of his enormous contract. 2004: Atlanta Braves
On December 13, 2003, <mask> was traded to the Atlanta Braves along with catcher Eli Marrero for starting pitcher <mask>, relief pitcher Ray King, and rookie prospect Adam Wainwright. There, he had the best season of his career while finally managing to stay healthy. In , he displayed excellent power, patience, and defense, hitting .305 with 31 home runs, 118 walks, and 93 RBI, finishing sixth in the MVP voting. 2005–2006: Los Angeles Dodgers
In December 2004, <mask> signed a five-year, $55 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, which included an escape clause after the second year.Roughly halfway through the 2005 season, <mask>'s season was again cut short after being hit on the wrist by a pitch from Arizona Diamondbacks' pitcher Brad Halsey. On September 18, 2006, <mask> was part of only the (then) fourth-ever set of back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs with fellow Dodgers <mask>, Russell Martin, and Marlon Anderson. In 2006, <mask> exercised his contract opt-out clause, forgoing $33 million over the next three years to become a free agent. Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said in a teleconference that he was "surprised how it came down. Everything we had heard, everything that had been written led us to believe the player loved being here." This was especially a surprise because a few days before, <mask> had told an LA Times columnist on how happy he was in LA and that he was looking forward to the upcoming 2007 season. <mask> had a very good season, batting .284 with 20 home runs and 100 RBI.2007–2011: Boston Red Sox
On January 26, , <mask> officially signed a five-year contract with the Red Sox worth $70 million. <mask>'s revised contract had a clause that allowed the Red Sox to opt out of <mask>'s five-year contract after three or four years if <mask> has extensive injuries due to a previously existing problem in his right shoulder. <mask> was again part of a set of four consecutive home runs on April 22, 2007, in a game against the New York Yankees, this time joining with Manny Ramírez, Mike Lowell, and <mask>. He is the only player to participate twice in a string of four straight home runs, and he was the second player to go deep in each instance. <mask> finished the 2007 season with a .270 batting average, 11 home runs, and 64 RBI. On October 20, 2007, <mask> hit a grand slam in Game 6 of the 2007 ALCS with the Red Sox facing elimination. The home run, along with brother <mask>'s for the Arizona Diamondbacks, marks the third time that two brothers have both hit home runs in the same postseason.In 2008, <mask> hit one of the longest home runs in Fenway Park history. According to the ESPN Home Run Tracker, it was measured at 460 feet. He finished with a .280 average, with an OBP of .408 and a slugging percentage of .519. At the end of June, <mask> was named the AL Player of the Month after hitting .337 and hitting 12 home runs while taking over for <mask>'s three-spot in the lineup while he was on the disabled list. <mask> was officially announced as an AL All-Star reserve on July 6. This was <mask>'s first All-Star game appearance. He hit a two-run homer in his first at-bat as an All-Star en route to winning the game's MVP award.In what was to become the longest All-Star Game time-wise in MLB history, the American League (and <mask>'s Red Sox) manager Terry Francona, having almost run out of pitchers, contemplated putting <mask>, a former high school hurler, on the mound to close the game. "I'd have been ready," <mask> said. "I've had an opportunity to throw a lot in the outfield. I don't know if I would have gotten anyone out, but I'd have thrown something up there." <mask> later visited the 15-day disabled list, spending from August 27 to September 8 on the DL with a strained lower back. On October 3, in Game 2 of the 2008 American League Division Series against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, <mask> hit a go-ahead two-run home run.

<mask>v () (born 12 November 1867 – 16 April 1925) was a Bulgarian General and Chief of the Bulgarian Army Staff. Biography

<mask> was born in Sevlievo, at the time part of the Ottoman Empire. After the liberation of Bulgaria he was a volunteer in the Student's Legion during the Serbo-Bulgarian War and took part in the defense of the unification of the Principality of Bulgaria and the province of Eastern Rumelia. After the war he served for a short time as a corporal in the 12th Infantry Regiment and in 1887 he was accepted in Sofia Military School. After his graduation he served in the 4th Artillery Regiment but in 1892 was sent to specialize in the Turin Military Academy in Italy. There he spent four years between 1892 and 1896. With his return to Bulgaria he performed different duties in the General Staff of the Army and in some of the field units.In 1903 Prince Ferdinand took him in his retinue and made him Commandant of the Palace and promoted to major. In 1908 <mask> was appointed Chief of the Operations Department of the Army Staff and as such took part in the preparations for the war against the Ottoman Empire in 1912. In 1911 he was promoted to colonel

Balkan Wars

During the First Balkan War besides Chief of the Operations Department of the Army Staff he was also Assistant to the chief of the General Staff general Ivan Fichev. With the end of that war the growing tension between the former allies general Fichev, who was deeply opposed to a military solution of the disputes between Bulgaria and Serbia, preferred to resign from his post but his resignation was never accepted. Nevertheless, he did not take part in the preparation of the war. Some of his functions were assumed by colonel Nerezov. Bulgaria didn't have a general plan for a war against its former allies so in May colonel Nerezov submitted his suggestions for approval by the High Command.In them he planned a simultaneous attack by all five Bulgarian armies with the bulk of the forces directs against Macedonia while the rest drive deep into the prewar borders of Serbia in order to cut its supply and communication lines. This planned was approved but was not fulfilled as intended. When the war began on 16 June 1913 only two of the Bulgarian armies were ordered to attack while the other three remained idle for almost one week. This and the entry of Romania in the war meant that <mask>'s plan was compromised. The Bulgarian High Command chose to withdraw the forces deployed against Old Serbia even though they had achieved success in the initial operations by taking Knjaževac and were poised to take Pirot and advance to Niš. The Bulgarians now concentrated their forces to the south and managed to completely halt the Serbian advance after the battle of Kalimanci and almost encircle the Greek Army in the battle of Kresna Gorge. These successful military operations could not prevent the Romanian Army from threatening the rear of the Bulgarian Army and reaching the vicinity of capital Sofia which forced the Bulgarian capitulation.First World War
In 1914 colonel Nerezov took the command of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the Ninth Pleven Infantry Division and was promoted to major general the next year and took command of the entire division. With the entry of Bulgaria in the war his division was assigned to the First Army for operations against the valleys of the rivers Timok and Morava. In the following battles the Serbian Army was defeated but managed to avoid encirclement at Kosovo Pole. With the end of the Serbian Campaign the Ninth Division arrived at the Macedonian front where it became part of the 11th German Army. On 25 November 1916 he was appointed commander of the Third Army on the Dobrudja Front where he remained for one year. In 1917 he was appointed to command the newly created Morava Army Region in occupied Serbia. In Summer of 1918 when the 5th Bulgarian Division was defeated at the Battle of Skra-di-Legen the Commander in Chief general Nikola Zhekov decided that a command change was needed in the First Army in order to increase the morale of its troops.General Dimitar Geshov was replaced with general <mask>, who was described as "more healthy, more lively and more steadfast". In August he was promoted to Lieutenant General. In September the Allies began their final offensive to knock out Bulgaria out of the war. The Bulgarian Army which was stretched on a 350 km front with all its forced arrayed in a single line had little reserves to prevent a breakthrough at the Battle of Dobro Pole. General <mask>'s First Army was attacked by the British and Greeks at the Battle of Doiran. The fighting was hard but unlike other sectors of the front the Bulgarian troops kept their high morale and battle readiness due to the personal visits of the commander of the army on the battlefield. Unlike other commanders he had also positioned his forces in such a way that made available two infantry regiments as an immediate reserve.As a result, the Bulgarians achieved an important victory which encouraged general Nerezov to begin preparations for a counter-attack with his army. However the Senior German and Bulgarian commanders were overwhelmed by the Dobro Pole debacle and feared giving a last general battle with all available forces. Instead the First Army was ordered to retreat and for the remaining days of the war it was pursued by the British and fought only small rearguard battles. The war ended in Bulgarian defeat and the First Army was demobilized in October 1918. Later life
After the war general Nerezov served as Inspector of the Infantry and in 1919 as Chief of the Bulgarian Army Staff. In 1920 he was promoted to General of the Infantry which was the highest rank in the Bulgarian Army and went into the reserve. General Nerezov died on 16 April 1925 when he was killed in the St Nedelya Church assault in Sofia.Awards

Sir <mask>  (10 February 1896 – 22 May 1985) was an English marine biologist, an expert on marine ecosystems spanning organisms from zooplankton to whales. <mask> served as zoologist on the RRS Discoverys voyage to explore the Antarctic between 1925 and 1927. On the voyage he invented the Continuous Plankton Recorder; it enabled any ship to collect plankton samples during an ordinary voyage. After retiring from his academic work, <mask> founded the Religious Experience Research Centre in 1969. Camoufleur and artist

<mask> was born in Nottingham, the son of <mask>, an architect, and his wife, Elizabeth Hannah Clavering. He was educated not far away at Oundle School. He had intended to go to Oxford University in 1914, but on the outbreak of war he instead volunteered for the army, and was made a camoufleur, a camouflage officer.<mask> wrote that he had been

He was selected for camouflage work by the artist Solomon J. Solomon, who apparently mistook him for a different <mask> who was a professional artist. <mask> however did have sufficient artistic skill to serve his military and scientific work. He illustrated his New Naturalist books with his own line drawings, maps, diagrams, photographs, and paintings. For example, plate 2 of Fish and Fisheries illustrates the depicted "Rare and Unusual Fish in British Waters" both accurately and vividly. <mask> described the camoufleurs as including artists and "scientists with artistic inclinations", himself perhaps among them. In later life, <mask> travelled in India, Sri Lanka, Burma, Cambodia, China and Japan, recording his visits to temples in all those countries in watercolour paintings. Many of these are in the University of Wales Trinity Saint David collection.Zoology

<mask> was the zoologist on the RRS Discovery voyage to explore the Antarctic between 1925 and 1927, as part of the Discovery Investigations. Through his studies of zooplankton and its relationship with predators, he became expert in marine mammals such as whales. Whilst on board the Discovery he designed and later built a mechanism called the Continuous Plankton Recorder or CPR. The CPR collects plankton samples and stores them on a moving band of silk, preserving them in formalin. His pioneering research into plankton distribution and abundance is continued by the Continuous Plankton Recorder Survey (CPR Survey). <mask> was the first Professor of Zoology at the University of Hull from 1928 – 1942. In 1942, he was then appointed Professor of Natural History at the University of Aberdeen, where he remained until 1946, when he became Linacre Professor of Zoology in the University of Oxford and Fellow of Merton College, a position he held until 1963.In 1940, <mask> was made a Fellow of the Royal Society. He was knighted in 1957. Evolution

<mask> identified as a Darwinian, he denied the Lamarckian inheritance of acquired characteristics. He was a proponent of organic selection (also known as the Baldwin effect). He held the view that behavioral changes can be important for evolution. <mask> discussed his evolutionary ideas in his book The Living Stream (1965). He had written a chapter titled "Biology and Telepathy" where he explained that "something akin to telepathy might possibly influence the process of evolution".Evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr described his views on evolution as a form of vitalism. <mask> also suggested that certain animals share a "group mind" which he described as "a sort of psychic blueprint between members of a species." He also speculated that all species might be linked in a "cosmic mind" capable of carrying evolutionary information through space and time. Aquatic ape hypothesis

In 1930, while reading Wood Jones' Man's Place among the Mammals, which included the question of why humans, unlike all other land mammals, had fat attached to their skin, <mask> realized that this trait sounded like the blubber of marine mammals, and began to suspect that humans had ancestors that were more aquatic than previously imagined. Fearing a backlash against such a radical idea, he kept this hypothesis secret until 1960, when he spoke and later wrote on the subject, which subsequently became known as the aquatic ape hypothesis in academic circles. Study of religion
Dating from his boyhood at Oundle School, <mask>ord Lectures at Aberdeen University on the evolution of religion, later published as The Living Stream and The Divine Flame.These lectures signalled his wholehearted return to his religious interests. In 1969 he founded the Religious Experience Research Unit in Manchester College, Oxford. The Unit began its work by compiling a database of religious experiences and continues to investigate the nature and function of spiritual and religious experience at the University of Wales, Lampeter. In 1973 he met with A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and other devotees of the Hare Krishna movement and discussed Vedic literature, the divine flame and Rabindranath Tagore. <mask>'s biological approach to the roots of religion is currently shared by a number of other researchers (cf. Scott Atran, Pascal Boyer) but unlike them <mask> did not wish to be reductionist, seeing religious awareness as having evolved in response to a genuine dimension of reality. For his work in founding the Religious Experience Research Centre, <mask> received the Templeton Prize shortly before his death in 1985.Family

He was married to Sylvia Garstang in 1927. Works

<mask> wrote numerous scientific papers on plankton, fish and whales. He wrote two popular books in the New Naturalist series, and in later life he also wrote on religion. Books

<mask> (January 17, 1924 – January 1, 2017) was an American biologist, cancer researcher, professor, dean, and academic administrator. She contributed to the field of cancer research by studying the cure for melanoma. <mask> was an advocate for increasing the representation of women and students of color in universities, and she created programs to support students interested in pursuing graduate school. Early life
<mask> was the only child of Frank V<mask>, and Carriebel (Cole<mask>. Both of her parents used to live in Washington D.C. Her mother, Carriebel, found employment as a physical education and dance teacher who graduated from college with a BA in interpretive dancing. She had re-entered college the same time <mask> enrolled resulting in both mother and daughter earning degrees in the same year.<mask>'s father, Frank, was the first Black person to graduate with a Doctor of Medicine from Cornell University, becoming a physician specializing in dermatology. <mask>'s paternal grandfather was a freed slave who graduated from Howard University in 1898 making a living as a pharmacist. <mask>'s economically privileged upbringing offered her a childhood of intellectual exploration. From her father's scientific library to her education at several multiracial institutions, <mask> developed an interest in learning from a young age. Although she anticipated becoming a physical education teacher, her interest in science solidified during her sophomore year of high school whilst looking through a microscope in biology class. This interest was encouraged by her biology teacher and she was fascinated by books on microorganisms like Paul DeKruif's The Microbe Hunters. Higher education
<mask> matriculated at the University of Michigan in 1942, but, dissatisfied with segregated housing for African-American students at Michigan, she transferred to Talladega College in Alabama.Talladega College did not accept transfer credits, forcing <mask> to start anew. In spite of this, she completed her course work in three years instead of the standard four. She graduated with a BA in biology in 1944 and became a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. <mask> initially was denied a fellowship for graduate study in biology at New York University, allegedly due to her race, but was granted the fellowship after an interview. She earned her MS from New York University in 1947, and her PhD with a focus on cell physiology in 1950

Her dissertation, Mechanisms of Pigment Formation, examined melanin pigment granules formations in vitro using the enzyme tyrosinase. In 1949, she was appointed an independent investigator at Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory. In 2021, the town renamed a road near the Marine Biological Laboratory "Jewel Cobb Road" in honor of <mask>.Professional life
After receiving her Ph.D, <mask> became a biology teaching fellow at New York University while also working for the National Cancer Institute at Harlem Hospital (1950-1952). University of Illinois College of Medicine
From 1952-1954 <mask> was an instructor in anatomy in Chicago at the University of Illinois College of Medicine where she taught histology. Hunter College
Shortly thereafter, <mask> returned to New York, serving as an assistant professor for NYU's post graduate medical school (1955–60), while also working as a visiting lecturer at Hunter College (1956–57). Sarah Lawrence College
From 1960-69, <mask> was employed as head of the biology laboratory at Sarah Lawrence College. While there, she conducted research for participants in the National Science Foundation. Connecticut College
<mask> served as a professor of Zoology and as Dean of Arts and Sciences at Connecticut College from July 1969 until July 1976. <mask> was the first black Dean in the College's history.Upon accepting the position at Connecticut College, she expressed: "This is a college in transition, moving forward at an exciting pace. We need more black students and teachers to help us formulate and carry out our bold new plans." During her time at Connecticut College, she implemented a Black Scholarship program that provided financial assistance to at least 37 Black undergraduates at the college. The scholarship intended to increase financial assistance needs for students of color. This work inspired similar programs at other universities. <mask> also established a Fifth Year Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical Program, which provided financial assistance and educational opportunities for minority students at the College who wanted to pursue careers in medicine or dentistry. Students were provided with resources for tutoring and counseling.Just five years after this program was established, these students were accepted into graduate programs, which included, Yale, Georgetown, and the University of Connecticut. While in Connecticut, Dr. <mask> also served as a member of the Lawrence and Memorial Hospital in New London, in addition to being elected Director of the American Council on Education, (1973-1976). Dr <mask>, as member of the National Science Board and advisor to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, chaired a conference of 30 minority women scientists to provide recommendations to schools, policy-makers and the US government on how to recruit more women of color into the sciences. The highly influential report was published as The Double Bind: The Price of Being a Minority Woman in Science. Due to the many roles, <mask> worked long hours. She did laboratory work in the early morning followed by administrative work before teaching in the afternoons. Douglass Residential College
In July 1976, <mask> decided to leave Connecticut College and become a dean and professor of Biological Sciences at Douglass Residential College at Rutgers University.<mask>'s decision to leave was not premeditated, rather it centered on an interest in becoming a full-time administrator for the Women's division of Rutgers. <mask>'s greatest hesitation in leaving the College concerned her inability to continue research to the same degree in her new role. While at Douglass, <mask> (alongside nine other Americans) was selected by the Rockefeller Foundation to participate in a global conference in Italy concerning the future of higher education for women. Additionally, in April 1978, <mask> was nominated by President Carter as a member of the Board of Foreign Scholarships, best known as the organization responsible for determining Fulbright eligibility. California State University, Fullerton
<mask> was appointed President of California State University, Fullerton in 1981 where she began to improve campus facilities from the start of her term. <mask> was successful in obtaining funds for the construction of an Engineering and Computer Science Building which was constructed with state funds, as well as the Ruby Gerontology Center, which was the first building in the College's history to be funded through private donations. She also acquired financial capital for the construction of the first ever student residence on campus.The completion of this apartment complex was later named in her honor. <mask> also negotiated an agreement with the Marriott Corporation and the city of Fullerton for a lease to construct a hotel, allowing her to use available funds for the construction of a campus sports complex. The majority of the planning for the Science Laboratory Center, now called Dan Black Hall, was done while <mask> was president. At Fullerton, some faculty members did not share <mask>'s interests in research and rebuilding, holding that the primary mission of the college was to teach. Her decision to enter into the agreement to build the hotel on campus and to add a satellite campus in the southern part of Orange County thus generated criticism on campus. <mask> brought both of these issues to the Faculty Senate for a vote. Both times, her decisions were upheld.In 1990, aged 66, she was forced to retire under a rule imposed by W. Ann Reynolds, the Chancellor of the California State University System, requiring all campus presidents aged 65 or older to retire. In response to her departure, Julian Foster, a campus leader and prominent political scientist, expressed <mask>'s emphasis on research and scholarship to be her most important contribution to Cal State Fullerton. Shortly after retiring, <mask> was named California State University Trustee Professor for its Los Angeles division. In 1991, she became the principal investigator at Southern California Science and Engineering ACCESS Center and Network, which assists middle school and high school students from disadvantaged backgrounds pursue a future in the fields of science and engineering. In 2001, <mask> became the principal investigator for Science Technology Engineering Program (STEP) Up for Youth—ASCEND project at California State University, Los Angeles. She also was named and served as a member of the Caltech Board of Trustees. Research
<mask>'s research included work on the relationship between melanin and skin damage, and on the effects of hormones, ultraviolet light, and chemotherapy agents on cell division.<mask> discovered that methotrexate was effective in the treatment of certain skin cancers, lung cancers, and childhood leukemia. This drug is still being used in chemotherapy today to give treatment to a variety of cancers and autoimmune diseases which includes: breast cancer, head and neck cancers, lung cancer, leukemia, and some types of lymphoma. <mask> was the first to publish data on actinomycin D and its ability to cause a reduction of nucleoli in the nucleus of normal and malignant human cells. She received a $5,000 grant from the American Cancer Society to continue her research in"Direct Hormone Action to Human and Mouse Melanomas in Tissue Culture." This grant supported her research and a broader examination of pigment cell growth and differentiation in human and mouse melanomas. Other support for her cancer research came through her post-doctoral fellowship, research grants from the: Damon Runyon, National Science Foundation, National Cancer Institute, and Public Health Services. <mask> was part of the United States International Cancer congresses in London (1958) and Moscow (1962) and served on the advisory board to Mohegan Community College.She was awarded the National Institute of Health Fellowship for $68,000, where she spent seven months in Naples, Italy continuing cell growth research at the International Laboratory of Genetics and Biophysics. Throughout her career, she collaborated with other notable researchers, including oncologist Jane C. Wright, Grace Antikajian, and Dorothy Walker Jones. Her most influential mentors were her bacteriology professor James R. Hayden and her biochemistry professor M.J. Kopac. In recognition of her research achievements, <mask> was elected to the Institute of Medicine in the National Academy of Sciences in 1974. She was also a member of the National Science Board from 1974 to 1980. Additional societal contributions
<mask> was named Vice President of the Board for the 21st Century Foundation, dedicated to supporting the development of Black institutions that addressed issues in the Black community. Programs established by the organization included: economic, educational, and community development with the purpose of creating opportunities for people of color.She was also a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which supported both women and people of color in the field. <mask> was one of seven recognized by the Oakland Museum Association's Cultural and Ethnic Affairs for her contributions to science and/or technology. The museum's exhibition hoped to increase minority representation in the sciences by showcasing the accomplishments of people of color, including several of <mask>'s findings. As the keynote speaker at the 1971 Wheaton College commencement, <mask> called for an alliance between the Women's Liberation Movement and the Black Liberation Movement. She called for the equality of women, the abolition of abortion laws, and the demand for public child care in particular. Final years and legacy
Many of the policies and programs <mask> initiated during her administrative careers take form in her 1979 paper, Filters for Women in Science, where she expressed concerns about female representation in science and engineering. Through an analogy connecting her passion for science and demand for equity, <mask> claimed that the characteristics of the filtrate passing through a filter are primarily determined by the size of the pores, which she connected with the limitations of female employment in science.<mask>'s insistence on providing resources and programs to increase minority representation at her colleges of employment define her legacy outside of the laboratory. A former student, Timothy Yarboro, stated,  "I would not have become a doctor. Because of her, I knew it was possible." <mask> resided in Maplewood, New Jersey, until her death on January 1, 2017 at the age of 92. She was survived by her only child, Jonathan, a radiologist specializing in magnetic resonance imaging. Honors, awards, and memberships

<mask>Sarenka) Zylberberg (5 January 1920 – 8 May 1943; 3 Iyar 5703 in Hebrew calendar) was an underground activist and participant in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. She held a key role in rousing the rebellion. Zylberberg was a member of Hashomer Hatzair, the Zionist-socialist youth movement. After the German invasion of Poland at the onset of World War II, she left the capital for Wilno in northeastern part of prewar Poland (now Vilnius, Lithuania), then returned to Warsaw together with Chajka (Chaikeh) Grossman and was actively involved in the Jewish resistance. Sarenka (Little Roe deer, or Fawn in Polish) was one of the few leaders who actually reentered the besieged ghetto, rather than flee it. She was among the first to set out on an impassioned journey to spread knowledge of the Nazi plan to eradicate the Jews in the Holocaust. Sarenka confronted her peers repeatedly with this information, until she convinced Mira Fuchrer, Mordechai Anielewicz' partner, and eventually Anielewicz himself, as well as other leaders of the movement, of the severity of their situation.In order to reenter the besieged ghetto and rejoin the Hashomer Hatzair Combat Unit, she gave up her daughter Maya, whose later history is unknown. She died in the bunker called Miła 18 beneath the 18 Miła Street in Warsaw, where her name is engraved on a memorial headstone together with those of almost 50 Jewish fighters. <mask> was more familiarly known as Sarenka, which translates into Hebrew as Ofra. Childhood and Education

<mask> was born <mask> Zylberberg on 5 January 1920 in Warsaw, interwar Poland, to Orthodox Jewish parents: Alexander (Sender) and Masha née Nordwind. Her parents owned a dairy-goods store at 37 Nowolipki Street, and later at 40a Nowolipki. <mask> Zylberberg studied at the Jewish Gymnasia and joined Hashomer Hatzair, where she became member of the "Frontline Brigade" eventually, along with Mordechai Anielewicz, Commander of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. While in school, she excelled at her studies, excelled also at sports, and was known for her strong organizational abilities.As of 1938, she became a group leader for the younger students who greatly admired her. She received her matriculation certificate just as the Second World War broke out on 1 September 1939 with the German invasion of Poland. Two weeks later, the USSR invaded Poland from the east. In Soviet Lithuania
Sarenka escaped to eastern Poland ahead of the German advance, together with her sister Ruth. She initially arrived in Kaidani, which at the time was under the Russian control, joining Ha-Manof Kibbutz, and eventually relocating to prewar Wilno (Vilna) and joining the Hashomer Hatzair Kibbutz there. With her good education, she immediately adopted an important role in kibbutz life. She lived in Vilna with her partner, Moshe Kopito who himself was a close friend of Mordechai Anielewicz; the two men had joined the movement together much earlier.On 22 February 1941, Sarenka's daughter Maya was born. On 22 June 1941 the German army attacked the Soviet positions in eastern Poland under the code-name Operation Barbarossa. Sarenka later described the 'deportation' of Jews from the Ghetto to nearby Ponary in the suburbs of Vilna, where the Ponary massacre was carried out by Nazi Germans and their Lithuanian collaborators. She wrote:

Sarenka moved into hiding at the Polish Dominican Convent of the Little Sisters in a forest some  outside of Vilna (see: Anna Borkowska (Sister Bertranda), the Polish Righteous Among the Nations who saved them). Reportedly, Sarenka stayed there together with Abba Kovner and Joseph Shamir. In all, some fifteen to 20 comrades hid in the convent together. There, the idea of the uprising took shape, and became based around Kovner's declaration: "Let us not go like lambs to the slaughter!"The connection between the Hashomer Hatzair insurgents and the Catholic convent was arranged by Yodviga Dudezits with the assistance from Irena Adamowicz, later acknowledged as the Polish Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem. Both women belonged to the Polish Scouts Democratic Movement, and both had been hidden by Hashomer Hatzair activists when the city was destroyed by the Russians. After Moshe Kopito was murdered by the Nazis while attempting to buy milk and supplies for their daughter, Sarenka placed Maya at an orphanage in Vilna, under the name Yodviga (Jadwiga) Sogak. Maya (whose whereabouts are not known) is still being sought to this day. At that time, the Hashomer Hatzair leadership in Vilna decided to return Sarenka to Warsaw for partisan action. Chaikeh (Chajka) Grossman was sent by the movement to bring Sarenka back to the capital. Sarenka dressed up as Chaikeh's child even though they both were young, but Chaikeh was the elder of the two.Chaikeh later wrote: "This time I didn't come to Warsaw alone. I came with Sarenka. I needed to get Sarenka from Vilna to Warsaw, after the catastrophe with Moshe Kopito, her friend. We decided to transfer her to a family in Warsaw and have her join the action there." The purpose of Sarenka's return was to continue leading the youth remaining inside the ghetto, and to assist her family with their grocery store inside the Warsaw Ghetto. Death in the Warsaw Ghetto

Sarenka reentered the Warsaw Ghetto in January 1942, with two objectives. The first was to bear the message, as an eyewitness, of the methodical extermination of Jews in Punar, near Vilna; her fellow Jews had not heard these details until then.The second was to arouse and motivate rebellion against the Nazis from inside the ghetto. On her return to the ghetto, a group of youth united around her, some of whom she had instructed as a counselor. She detailed the Nazi massacre. One day we were called to our brigade meeting with the new young woman delegate from the Vilna Ghetto. I think her name was Sarenka (or perhaps <mask>)? We all sat on the floor and before us stood a young woman, about 22 years old, whose hair already showed white streaks. In the twilight she looked so pretty and noble, but her eyes seemed extinguished.She described her experience of the removal of Jews by the Nazis for massacre. She died in the bunker under Miła 18, where her name is engraved. References
