This is an attempt to determine birth and death dates for Benjamin Freedman, the anti-Zionist. By his own statements, he was a liason between Rolla Wells and Henry Morgenthau, Sr. related to Woodrow Wilson. The only time these three came together in this capacity was in the National Democratic Committee from 1912 to 1916. He says "I was only a BOY then". So we are looking for a man who was at least 18 at this point, but no more than say 25, and who lived until at least 1961.

I went through the WWI, and WWII Draft Registration Cards, the 1920 census and the SSDI and compared all the birthdates to each other. This is what I found.
