Samuel Margoshes (October 21, 1887 – August 23, 1968) was a Galician-born Jewish-American Yiddish journalist, newspaper editor, and Zionist.
His grandfather Shmuel-Arye Margoshes edited the Maḥazike Hadat (Strengthening the Faith), a Hebrew periodical from the court of the Belz Rebbe, in the 1860s.
[5] Margoshes began writing in 1904, when he wrote a Hebrew sketch of David Frischmann's Hador (The Generation).
When he initially arrived in America, he spent his evenings with the group of writers known as Di Yunge, which included his friend from Tarnów Reuben Iceland.
When he returned to America, he became a founder of the People's Relief, the Joint Distribution Committee, and the American Jewish Congress.
His dispatches appeared in the New York Herald Tribune and other newspapers, described Arab attacks on Jewish communities in Palestine, repeatedly charged British officials of being responsible for the attacks, and claimed British policemen remained in their garrisons during the outbreak.
[8] Margoshes visited the Soviet Union in 1931, and his subsequent articles on Jewish life in that country sparked sharp debate in the Yiddish press.
The Danish king awarded him the Medal of Merit for his service on Denmark's behalf during World War II.
