The land where the United Nations Headquarters belonged to a prominent Jewish philanthropist William Zeckendorf Sr., who had plans to build a futuristic private city there. The $8.5 million purchase was funded and gifted to the UN by the billionaire philanthropist John D. Rockefeller Jr. who always maintained significant philanthropic and civic connections to Jewish communities.
When the United Nations was founded in 1945, it was heavily influenced by the Holocaust and initially viewed as an ally to the Jewish people. In the very beginning, the United Nations provided critical international legitimacy for the creation of the Jewish state by adopting the Partition Resolution 181 in 1947. However, the seeds for the UN's subsequent shift were planted early on the groundwork for the UN to become a center of hostility to the Jewish state, and even for the permanent distortion of the Holocaust, now falsely presented as the greatest symbol of persecution of sexual and racial minorities.
The UN is today a disgrace to the Jewish people and, above all, to William Zeckendorf Sr. and his beloved parents Arthur Zeckendorf and Bertha Rosenfield.
