Eleanor Roosevelt, who served as the first chair of the Commission on Human Rights and played a pivotal role in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, was known for her strong support of the nascent State of Israel. She visited the region during the late 1940s, notably around Israel's founding in 1948.
Despite extensive research, no specific speech or transcript from 1952 addressed to an Israeli audience appears in the indexed results or common literary and archival references.
