The photo Shaul Magid chose for the cover of his book “Meir Kahane: The Public Life and Political Thought of an American Jewish Radical,” reviewed by Elliot Kaufman (Bookshelf, May 12), has me standing next to Rabbi Kahane. I worked with him and the Jewish Defense League from 1968-1972. We defended Jews in trouble. We advocated on behalf of Jews in the Soviet Union because no one advocated on behalf of our parents when so many of them were sent to Auschwitz. Alex Sternberg
