Wonderful life stories quickly fade from collective memory, so that the lessons and inspiration they offer are lost to future generations. Every age has produced people who accomplished great things in life and became celebrities as a result, but whose stars have grown faint over time. Here are 11 stories that form a mosaic of 20th century history. Two of the subjects, though not Americans themselves, identify closely with the American experience of the 20th Century. All the others were either people of long-standing American heritage or the descendants of more recent immigrants. They were Polish, Italian, Jewish, German, African-American and Palestinian.
