Wesley Clark is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — US Army General, NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe
Wesley Clark, U.S. Army General and NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, has Jewish paternal roots: his father, Benjamin Kanne, came from a Jewish family that emigrated from Belarus, and Clark descends from a line of rabbis. Raised without knowledge of this heritage (as a Baptist) and later a Catholic convert, he learned of his Jewish ancestry as a young man.
