Captain Jiri and Rabbi Jacob is Marilyn Hirsh's telling of this story. It's
interesting because her version illuminates the European Jewish experience and
Jewish values, in that the Rabbi uses his treasure to teach his oft-bullied
students about self-defense, one sees the Jewish value placed on books and
learning, and a disdain for soldiering. So for the purposes of a college class,
it might be useful. (On the other hand, the class may find the unflattering
portrayal of the Captain's (non-Jewish) troops to be offensive!
