Zamenhof's 150th birthday in the Jewish Daily Forward

Zamenhof Days: December 15 and the Polish Jewish inventor of Esperanto
By Benjamin Ivry, Bintel Blog,
The Jewish Daily Forward, December 14, 2009
The occasion is the commemoration of L.L. Zamenhof's 150th birthday, particularly the Zamenhof Symposium at the U.N. featuring Esther Schor, Anna Okrent, and others.
Zamenhof's doctrine homaranismo is mentioned, as is daughter Lidia's involvement in the Bahá’í Faith, and the murder of all of three of Zamenhof's children by the Nazis.
William Shatner and the 1965 film Incubus, the creation of The Outer Limits TV series creator Leslie Stevens, are mentioned, with embedded video:
