BiographyHenry Morgenthau III was the son of Elinor (née Fatman), granddaughter of Mayer Lehman, a co-founder of Lehman Brothers[1] and Henry Morgenthau Jr., who was Franklin D. Roosevelt's U.S. Secretary of the Treasury.[2] He was a grandson of US Ambassador Henry Morgenthau, Sr. and grandnephew[3] of New York Governor and Senator Herbert H. Lehman.[4] He was the brother of former New York County District Attorney Robert M. Morgenthau,[5] as well as of Joan Elizabeth Morgenthau Hirschhorn (October 9, 1922 – October 1, 2012),[6] who was professor of clinical pediatrics and preventive medicine and the associate dean for student affairs at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.[7] A cousin was the American historian Barbara Tuchman.[8] Early yearsHe graduated from Princeton University in 1939. During his time at university, he ran on the cross country team, worked on Theatre Intime, and was an editorial-board member of the Daily Princetonian. Despite his family's social stature, Morgenthau was frozen out of bicker (excluded from Eating club membership) as a sophomore in 1937, along with four of the other 11 Jewish students in the class.[9] During World War II, Morgenthau served in the US Army. From 1945, he was involved in the television business, at various times working as an author, producer and manager for the larger national institutions like NBC, CBS and ABC.[10] From 1955-77, Morgenthau was a chief producer of WGBH (Boston).[11] His shows at WGBH won Peabody, Emmy, United Press International, Educational Film Library Association, and Flaherty Film Festival[12] awards. He also served as acting program manager at WYNC.[13] Morgenthau served as a vice president of the Eleanor Roosevelt Institute. He also was a manager of the Morse Communication Center[14] at Brandeis University. Morgenthau III was producer of Prospects of Mankind with Eleanor Roosevelt (1959),[15] The Negro and the American Promise (1963),{{citation needed|date=May 2018}} and Conversation[16] with Svetlana Alliluyeva (daughter of Stalin) (1967). He was a contributor to Screamers (2006 film) and story editor of A Tale of Two Christmases (December 21, 1952). DeathHenry Morgenthau III died on July 10, 2018 at the age of 101.[17] Authorship{{more citations needed|section|date=May 2018}}He wrote Mostly Morgenthaus: A Family History[18] (1991), focused on several patriarchs: The first Morgenthau of record, Moses (1773–1834), impoverished teacher of Hebrew from Gleusdorf in Bavaria, who later became a ritual slaughterer married to a rabbi’s daughter, was required to take a family name when the Jews of Bavaria were granted citizenship in 1813.[19] Waiting in line at city hall in the predawn, he looked at the damp ground and decided to call himself Morgen Tau ("morning dew'' in German). His and Brunhilda Morgenthau's son, Lazarus[20] (1815–1897) was making nicotine-free cigars, candy from pine needles, tongue scrapers, and gum-label machines. Married in 1843 to Seline Babette Guggenheim, he moved to Mannheim and opened a cigar manufactory, a business that grew rapidly when his brother Max (also called Mengo) wrote from California in 1849 suggesting he ship his cigars to the American market. Lazarus's success had been extraordinary, but the luck that had followed him could not prevent the business failure that followed the rise of protective tariffs in the United States when war broke out there in 1861. Financially overextended, Lazarus moved to New York in 1866, where his fortunes plummeted further.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}} Lazarus's ninth child, Henry Sr. (1856–1946), saw his mission as restoring the family to its rightful position.[21] As Wilson's ambassador to the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) during the crucial years before and during World War I, he supported the Jews in Palestine and heroically rescued Armenians persecuted by the Turks. Henry Jr. (1891–1967)[22] was a close friend of both Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt,[23] FDR's Secretary of the Treasury and leader of U.S. efforts on behalf of Holocaust survivors.[24]In his book Henry Morgenthau III casts doubt on the alleged Communist associations of his father's Treasury aide Harry Dexter White, whom Whitaker Chambers accused of being a Soviet spy and conspirator.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}} In 2016, at the age of 99, Morgenthau III published his first book of poetry entitled "A Sunday in Purgatory." AwardsOn May 9, 2015, at Marriott Marques Hotel[25] in Washington DC, during the National Commemoration of the Armenian Genocide Centennial Reception And Award Banquet, Catholicos Karekin II presented an award to Henry Morgenthau III.[26] Personal LifeHenry Morgenthau III was an observant Jew who rediscovered his religion after his marriage to Ruth S. Morgenthau in 1962. They had three children together: Henry (Ben) Morgenthau (born 1964), cinematographer Kramer Morgenthau (born 1966) and Sarah Elinor Morgenthau Wessel (born 1963).[27][28][29] Morgenthau turned 100 on January 11, 2017,[30] He celebrated the occasion in Washington DC with 35 relatives and friends.[31] References1. ^New York Times: "Joan Morgenthau Hirschhorn" October 7, 2012 2. ^{{cite web|title=Henry Morgenthau III|url=https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/14149880.Henry_Morgenthau_III|website=Goodreads|accessdate=July 14, 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=The Political Graveyard: Morgenthau-Lehman family of New York|url=http://politicalgraveyard.com/families/10001-099.html|website=The Political Graveyard|accessdate=July 13, 2015|first=Lawrence|last=Kestenbaum}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Lehmans To Celebrate Rich Family History - The New York Sun|url=http://www.nysun.com/new-york/lehmans-to-celebrate-rich-family-history/48101|website=The New York Sun|accessdate=July 13, 2015}} 5. ^{{Cite book|edition=1st|title=Timeless: Love, Morgenthau, and Me|url=https://www.amazon.com/Timeless-Love-Morgenthau-Lucinda-Franks/dp/0374280800|publisher=Sarah Crichton Books|date=August 19, 2014|isbn=9780374280802|first=Lucinda|last=Franks}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Joan Morgenthau Hirschhorn's Obituary on|url=http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/greenwichtime/obituary.aspx?n=joan-morgenthau-hirschhorn&pid=160282693&fhid=2058|website=GreenwichTime|accessdate=July 13, 2015}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Alumni|url=http://www.columbiamedicinemagazine.org/in-memoriam/spring-2013/alumni|accessdate=July 13, 2015}} 8. ^{{Cite news|title=Barbara Tuchman Dead at 77; A Pulitzer-Winning Historian|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1989/02/07/obituaries/barbara-tuchman-dead-at-77-a-pulitzer-winning-historian.html|newspaper=The New York Times|date=February 7, 1989|access-date=July 13, 2015|issn=0362-4331|first=Eric|last=Pace}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=https://paw.princeton.edu/article/rally-%E2%80%99round-cannon-not-chosen-people-part-1|title=Rally ’Round the Cannon: The Not Chosen People, Part 1|date=March 29, 2016|publisher=princeton.edu}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=Henry Morgenthau profile|url=http://www.zoominfo.com/p/Henry-Morgenthau/2055142|website=ZoomInfo|accessdate=July 13, 2015}} 11. ^{{cite web|title=Robert D.
