At the time of his death, General Rose was the highest ranking Jewish-American officer of WWII. He was the son and grandson of Polish rabbis.
A group of leaders in the Colorado Jewish community will launch a nationwide fundraising effort to raise the money to build the Rose Medical Center, a place where people would be treated and staff hired without regard to race, religion or national origin. The cornerstone will be laid by Gen. Eisenhower in 1948.
Rose remains an outstanding hospital and is my family's hospital of choice when a need arises.
